  7. Ask the customer to open the message, and click the link to launch the Rescue Lens app.

    Note: If the Rescue Lens app is not already installed on the customer's device, they are redirected to Google Play or the App Store to install the app first.
    Note: The download procedure may vary depending on the customer's operating system.
    The customer may see a tutorial. They can tap Skip or OK.

  8. The customer is prompted to grant access to the device camera and microphone. Ask them to tap OK. At this point the camera image may already be displayed on the customer's mobile device, but nothing is streamed to the Technician Console.
