To capture a screen on the desktop

1. On the toolbar, click Properties, and then click the Sources tab.
2. In Source from, click Devices.
3. In Video, click Screen Capture, and then click Configure to specify the window or region of the screen that you want to capture.
4. Click the Compression tab.
5. In Destination, click either Windows Media server or Web server, depending on your playback scenario.
6. In Video, click Screen capture.
7. Click Apply, and then on the toolbar, click Start Encoding.

   The encoder window minimizes while you are encoding. If you are encoding a file, restoring the encoder window usually pauses the encoder. However, if your screen capture session is also sourcing audio from a file, then restoring the encoder window will not pause the encoder. For a broadcast session, encoding continues, even if you restore the encoder window. To stop or pause encoding, click the encoder button on the taskbar. Then, on the toolbar, click either Stop Encoding or Pause Encoding.
