1. A method comprising:
configuring, via a first computing device for analysis of a quality issue in a media stream, an administrator-initiated packet capture operation configured to capture packets of the media stream within a cloud environment provided by a second computing device arranged outside of the cloud environment;
obtaining, at the first computing device, an indication that a user associated with the media stream is within a predetermined location proximity to the second computing device;
authorizing the packet capture operation in response to determining that the user is within the predetermined location proximity to the second computing device based on obtaining the indication;
initiating the packet capture operation in response to the authorizing;
storing the packets captured via the packet capture operation; and
providing the packets captured via the packet capture operation for analysis.
