This title makes it feel like it's an Apple feature, but really it's just a Shortcut someone put together.
It basically just turns down the volume, texts your location to an emergency contact, and opens your camera. It doesn't upload the footage in realtime to a central server as other apps do.

There’s probably an opportunity here: If there was an app that did streaming video to a server already, the developers could easily add a shortcut to it which started a stream to a server, and you could hook it up to Siri via the Shortcuts app.

Can you clarify this, does iCloud or Dropbox actually receive video in real time as it's being recorded, or does it only start uploading after the recording is done? Because in the latter case, I doubt it will do much good -- unless perhaps sleeping an iPhone during a recording saves what has been recorded so far and uploads it in the background, which I'm also not sure of.

Surely there must be apps that offer this functionality already? I'm not app-savvy enough to come up with any examples but I know many years ago there was a lot of talk about Bambuser.[1]
