## Upload Video


The Upload Video component allows users to record and upload a video directly within a form using their device's camera and microphone.

---

## How It Works
The Upload Video component displays a video recording interface inside the form.

To record a video:
1. The user clicks Allow Camera / Microphone.
2. The browser prompts the user to grant access to their camera and microphone.
3. Once permission is granted, a live camera preview appears.
4. The user records the video and can review or re-record it before submitting the form.

This component relies on browser-supported media recording APIs and requires user consent to access camera and microphone devices.
