AWS announced a guided wizard for RCS agent registration videos on October 16, 2026. According to [AWS’s release notice](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/10/aws-end-user-messaging-adds-guided-wizard-rcs-registration-videos), the AWS End User Messaging feature sends the required messages to a test device in the right sequence while the user records the demonstration.

## What changes in the recording workflow

AWS says RCS registrations in multiple countries, including the United States, require a screen recording demonstrating the messaging experience. Previously, users had to script the message sequence themselves. The company describes that manual preparation as error-prone, potentially leaving a recording incomplete or mismatched to registration requirements. The wizard now drives the sequence, according to the [announcement](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/10/aws-end-user-messaging-adds-guided-wizard-rcs-registration-videos).

For engineers who previously wrote a script solely to stage that demonstration, the practical benefit is less custom setup. The useful distinction is between preparing the recording and obtaining registration approval: automating the message sequence addresses the former, but does not establish how long the latter will take.

## Availability and approval expectations

AWS says the wizard is available on all RCS registration forms that require a video submission. That is the availability scope given in its [release notice](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/10/aws-end-user-messaging-adds-guided-wizard-rcs-registration-videos).

AWS also presents first-time video compliance and faster agent approval as benefits, but the announcement provides no approval-time measurements. Teams should treat faster approval as a vendor expectation rather than a measured result, and retain time for registration review in their launch schedules.
