Stream capture refers to the process of extracting media content in real-time from an online streaming platform. Some of the synonyms for stream capture include screen recording, live streaming, video recording, media capturing, and content acquisition. These terms are used interchangeably to describe the process of recording digital content from online sources such as video on demand, live events, and webinars. Screen recording software, for instance, enables one to capture screen activity whether in full or partial mode. Live streaming platforms, on the other hand, utilize hardware and software to stream live content and enable viewers to access such content without the need for download.
