# Streaming/Recording
> Control streaming and recording states.
A video card's buttons change with its state. A stream has to be running before a recording can start, so the buttons appear in that order: **stream first, then record**.
## Streaming
Press **Start Stream** to begin.
**Stop Stream** ends the feed, and **Start Recording** becomes available.
**MJPEG** streams also get [**Snapshot**](/discovery/video-card-buttons/snapshotting).
## Recording
While the card is streaming and not already recording, press **Start Recording**.
While the card is recording, conclude the recording with **Stop Recording**.
The resulting video(s) can be found through the file path under "Save Paths" within the [Capture Path Settings](/discovery/global-settings/capture-paths) card.
## Activity light
The light on the card tab tells you the state at a glance.
**No light** — the card isn't streaming.
**Solid** — the card is streaming.
**Slow blinking** — the card is recording.
