The command "obs --startrecording" is used to start recording video and audio using the OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) program.

OBS is a free and open-source software that allows users to capture and stream video recordings from their computer. The "--startrecording" command is a specific command within OBS that triggers the program to begin recording the current scene or sources specified in the program.

When this command is executed, OBS will begin capturing the selected video and audio sources, such as the computer screen, webcams, or external devices. The recorded video file will be saved to the specified output location as per the OBS settings.

By using this command, users can easily initiate the recording process in OBS without manually clicking on the "Start Recording" button in the program's graphical user interface.
