Hardware encoding on Linux can be enabled through FFmpeg’s vaapi support.

example, on Ubuntu, you can install all available vaapi drivers with:

.. code:: sh
sudo apt install i965-va-driver
Or build and install from source here:
https://github.com/intel/intel-vaapi-driver

sudo apt install va-driver-all
