Linux only so far! :O

API

screen-stream exports a single method, which creates a new live stream of your display.

Stream your live screen to e.g. an HTTP endpoint!

var screen = require('screen-stream')
var request = require('request')

screen().pipe(request.put("http://my.website.com/live_stream_feed"))

Limitations

• Linux support only so far
• Requires a pre-existing ffmpeg install that's setup on your command line
• No way to customize output (size, bitrate, format, etc)
