# Version 2 vs Version 1

V1 has access to the api methods via ReplayKitManager static class. This is changed in V2 and access is provided via an [IScreenRecorder](https://voxelbusters.com/products/cross-platform-screen-recorder-kit/documentation/api/VoxelBusters.ScreenRecorderKit.IScreenRecorder.html) interface which provides an access to use same code for GIF and Video recording.

For creating an instance of IScreenRecorder, you need to use [ScreenRecorderBuilder](https://voxelbusters.com/products/cross-platform-screen-recorder-kit/documentation/api/VoxelBusters.ScreenRecorderKit.ScreenRecorderBuilder.html).
