CaptureSettingsBuilder

Electron APIs / recorder / CaptureSettingsBuilder

A builder interface for constructing a complete CaptureSettings configuration.

Allows incremental addition of screen, game, and audio capture sources, as well as customization of encoder and device settings. The builder supports chaining and returns a finalized CaptureSettings object upon calling build().
