The latest updates to the screen API were discussed in the session titled "Capture HDR content with ScreenCaptureKit" at WWDC 2024. The session introduced several new features for ScreenCaptureKit, including:
-
HDR Content Capture: You can now capture HDR content, which provides a wider range of brightness levels and colors compared to standard dynamic range (SDR). This results in more detailed shadows and highlights, as well as a broader color spectrum.
-
Microphone Output: A new microphone output is available, allowing you to capture microphone audio along with screen and system audio.
-
Recording API: A new recording API simplifies the process of recording screen audio and microphone content, handling asset writing details for you.
For more details, you can refer to the session Capture HDR content with ScreenCaptureKit (00:01:20).
