## Detailed Description

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.

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

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