## Streaming
Streaming works the same as recording, but the `-o` argument should be path to the live streaming service you want to use (including your live streaming key). Take a look at scripts/twitch-stream.sh to see an example of how to stream to twitch.
## Replay mode
Run `gpu-screen-recorder` with the `-c mp4` and `-r` option, for example: `gpu-screen-recorder -w screen -f 60 -r 30 -c mp4 -o ~/Videos`. Note that in this case, `-o` should point to a directory (that exists).
To save a video in replay mode, you need to send signal SIGUSR1 to gpu screen recorder. You can do this by running `killall -SIGUSR1 gpu-screen-recorder`.
To stop recording, send SIGINT to gpu screen recorder. You can do this by running `killall gpu-screen-recorder` or pressing `Ctrl-C` in the terminal that runs gpu screen recorder.

The file path to the saved replay is output to stdout. All other output from GPU Screen Recorder is output to stderr.
## Finding audio device name
You can find the default output audio device (headset, speakers (in other words, desktop audio)) with the command `pactl get-default-sink`. Add `monitor` to the end of that to use that as an audio input in gpu screen recorder.\
You can find the default input audio device (microphone) with the command `pactl get-default-source`. This input should not have `monitor` added to the end when used in gpu screen recorder.\
