notifying the requesting user when the media capture object is received.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for the media capture is a link received in a messaging platform, the link causing the recipient device to display a web interface with the request for the media capture.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the requesting service is a service platform, wherein the recipient user interacts with a requesting user through the service platform as the requesting user aids in performing a service provided by the service platform.

8. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one storage including instructions stored thereon, the instructions are effective to cause the processor to:

receive a request for a media capture from a requesting service by a media capture service;

receive a configuration for the media capture by the media capture service, the configuration including at least an identification of a recipient user and at least one selected parameter from a plurality of parameters defining the media capture, wherein the plurality of parameters defining the media capture include at least a screen recording parameter and a video recording parameter;

send a first prompt comprising the request for the media capture to a recipient device of a recipient user by the media capture service, the prompt including a request including a link to perform the media capture;

receive a request for a webpage referenced by the link by the media capture service;

send a second prompt comprising the webpage to the recipient device, the webpage including code effective to cause a web browser to initiate the media capture, wherein the media capture is defined by the plurality of the parameters to automatically cause the recipient device to be configured to perform the capture in conformance with the plurality of the parameters;

receive a media capture object including the media capture from the recipient device, wherein the request for the media capture further being configured to link to a workflow, whereby when the media capture object is received, the workflow is triggered; and

provide access to the media capture object to a requesting user.

9. The system of claim 8 , comprising further instructions to:

receive instructions to configure the request for the media capture from the by the requesting user.

10. The system of claim 8 , comprising further instructions to:

store the media capture object to a location in a content management system, wherein the location in the content management system was specified by the requesting user when configuring the request for the media capture.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the link includes a token embedded in the link that identifies attributes of the request for the media capture.

12. The system of claim 8 , further comprising instructions to:

notify the requesting user when the media capture object is received.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, the instructions being effective to cause a processor of a media capture to:

receive a request for a media capture from a requesting service by a media capture service;

receive a configuration for the media capture by the media capture service, the configuration including at least an identification of a recipient user and at least one selected parameter from a plurality of parameters defining the media capture, wherein the plurality of parameters defining the media capture include at least a screen recording parameter and a video recording parameter;

send a first prompt comprising the request for the media capture to a recipient device of a recipient user by the media capture service, the prompt including a request including a link to perform the media capture;

receive a request for a webpage referenced by the link by the media capture service;

send a second prompt comprising the webpage to the recipient device, the webpage including code effective to cause a web browser to initiate the media capture, wherein the media capture is defined by the plurality of the parameters to automatically cause the recipient device to be configured to perform the capture in conformance with the plurality of the parameters;

receive a media capture object including the media capture from the recipient device, wherein the request for the media capture further being configured to link to a workflow, whereby when the media capture object is received, the workflow is triggered; and

provide access to the media capture object to a requesting user.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , the instructions are further effective to cause the processor to:

receive instructions to configure the request for the media capture from the requesting user.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , the instructions are further effective to cause the processor to:

store the media capture object to a location in a content management system, wherein the location in the content management system was specified by the requesting user when configuring the request for the media capture.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the link includes a token embedded in the link that identifies attributes of the request for the media capture.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , the instructions are further effective to cause the processor to:

notify the requesting user when the media capture object is received.
