 ## Streaming
 
-To get started exploring and plotting data live in your car, you can start PlotJuggler in streaming mode: `./juggle.py --stream`.
+Explore live data from your car! Follow these steps to stream from your comma device to your laptop:
+- Enable wifi tethering on your comma device
+- [SSH into your device](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/wiki/SSH) and run `cd /data/openpilot && ./cereal/messaging/bridge`
+- On your laptop, connect to the device's wifi hotspot
+- Start PlotJuggler with `ZMQ=1 ./juggle.py --stream`, find the `Cereal Subscriber` plugin in the dropdown under Streaming, and click `Start`.
 
-For this to work, you'll need a few things:
-- Enable tethering on your comma device and connect your laptop.
-- Run `export ZMQ=1` on the computer, which tells the streaming plugin backend to use ZMQ. If you're streaming locally, you can omit this step as ZMQ is used to transport data over the network.
-- Most importantly: openpilot by default uses the MSGQ backend, so you'll need to [ssh into your device](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/wiki/SSH) and run bridge. This simply re-broadcasts each message over ZMQ: `./cereal/messaging/bridge`.
-
-Now start PlotJuggler using the above `juggle.py` command, and find the `Cereal Subscriber` plugin in the dropdown under Streaming. Click Start and enter the IP address of the comma two. You should now be seeing all the messages for each [service in openpilot](https://github.com/commaai/cereal/blob/master/services.py) received live from your car!
+If streaming to PlotJuggler from a replay on your PC, simply run: `./juggle.py --stream` and start the cereal subscriber.
