Social Media Sharing
If you want the user to be prompted how they want to share the photo or video they've captured you need to also enable the Sharing Option toggle.
Once you've enabled the toggle, click the Save button at the bottom of the window and publish your experience to confirm your changes.
Now when users capture a photo or video, they'll see a familiar sharing menu allowing them to quickly share their creations with the apps they use most often, like social media, messaging apps, or email.
