Description

With ReplayKit it is possible to record the iOS screen, with and without Audio.

This could be very useful if you want to share your screen with others.

There are two possibilities:

  • Save recorded screen to file
  • Live broadcast

Save recorded screen to file

This should be not so complex to implement

Live Broadcast

This step needs also a server component. Maybe this could be implemented by ourself or we can finde a tool.
But this feature could be very huge. You can offer a screen sharing to all or selected OC users of an instance. Therefore this is a great tool for presenting and collaborate.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the iOS app and the proposed ReplayKit integration, separating local screen-file recording from live broadcasting. The issue names no source files, tests, server design, or concrete development tasks; completion would require defined implementation and QA plans for both App and any Library or server components.
