\brief This type is used for capturing a screen.

\inqmlmodule QtMultimedia
\ingroup multimedia_qml
\ingroup multimedia_video_qml

ScreenCapture captures a screen. It is managed by
MediaCaptureSession where the captured screen can be displayed
in a video preview object or recorded to a file.

\since 6.5
The code below shows a simple capture session with ScreenCapture playing
back the captured primary screen view in VideoOutput.

\qml CaptureSession { id: captureSession screenCapture: ScreenCapture { id: screenCapture active: true } videoOutput: VideoOutput { id: videoOutput } } \endqml
