Details

This method, as well as StartScreenCapture [1/2], StartScreenCaptureByDisplayId, and StartScreenCaptureByWindowId, can all be used to start screen capture, with the following differences:

StartScreenCapture [1/2] only applies to Android and iOS, whereas this method only applies to Windows and iOS.
