# Can Record (Service Availability)

## Check Service Availability <a href="#check-service-availability" id="check-service-availability"></a>

Check if Screen Recorder Kit features can be used. As the functionality needs required support from the hardware, it's always good to check this before calling any of the other plugin methods.

```csharp
// Create a gif or video recorder instance
IScreenRecorder recorder = ScreenRecorderBuilder.CreateGifRecorder().Build;
bool canRecord = recorder.CanRecord();
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Gif recording is supported on all platforms.

Video Recording is supported only on mobile platforms Android (API 21 and above), iOS(9 and above - iPhone 5S or later, iPad mini 2 or later, iPod Touch 6th generation, iPad Air or later.)&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Example

```csharp
public bool CanRecord()
{
	IScreenRecorder recorder = ScreenRecorderBuilder.CreateGifRecorder().Build();
	//or
	//IScreenRecorder recorder = ScreenRecorderBuilder.CreateVideoRecorder(new VideoRecorderRuntimeSettings()).Build();

	bool canRecord  =  recorder.CanRecord();

	string message  = canRecord ? "Screen Recorder Kit recording API is available!" : "Screen Recorder Kit recording API is not available.";

	Debug.Log(message);
	return canRecord;
}
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://assetstore.replaykit.voxelbusters.com/api/is-service-available.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
