ScreenCaptureKit was discussed in the session titled "Capture HDR content with ScreenCaptureKit" at WWDC 2024. This session introduced several new features and improvements for developers using ScreenCaptureKit:

  1. HDR Content Capture: You can now capture streams and screenshots with HDR, providing a wider range of brightness levels and colors compared to SDR. This is achieved by configuring the SC stream with properties like capture dynamic range, pixel format, and color space name.

  2. Microphone Output: A new microphone output is available, allowing apps to capture microphone audio along with screen and system audio. This is configured using the SC stream configuration.

  3. Recording API: A new recording API simplifies the process of recording screen, audio, and microphone content, handling asset writing details for you.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the session chapters:

These enhancements make it easier for developers to integrate high-quality screen capture features into their applications.
