== Usage (Packaged) ==
Use protocol activation to activate '''screenbits''' protocol to run a command for a packaged installation (through ''Microsoft Store'') of Screenbits in the following form:
<code>
start screenbits://[command]/?arg[=value]
</code>
The following example starts recording without bringing the app to foreground:
<code>
start screenbits://recordstart/?background
</code>
You can also use '''explorer''' program instead of '''start''' command to activate a protocol if you need to specify an executable file to launch run the command. This is useful for creating tasks in scheduler programs such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Task_Scheduler Windows Task Scheduler]:
<code>
explorer screenbits://recordstart/?background
</code>
== Usage (Non-Packaged) ==
To run a command for a non-packaged installation (through ''Steam'') of Screenbits, simply pass the command and arguments to the application executable:
<code>
[path-to-executable]screenbits.exe command [command -[arg[=value]]]
</code>
The following example starts recording without bringing the app to foreground:
<code>
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Screenbits\screenbits.exe" record start -background
</code>
