You can do it with [VLC following this guide](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts%28MPEG-TS%29)

Use “screen://” as input, like this:

```auto
vlc -vvv screen:// --sout "#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60,profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac},vcodec=x264,vb=150,scale=0.5,acodec=mp4a,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:rtP{dst=127.0.0.1,port=10000,mux=ts}"

```

On the topic of screencapture, for the record,

Wirecast from [Telestream.net](http://Telestream.net) is a great choice for this task. For more information, see these links:

Also, Vladimir Hmelyoff, from Splitmedia Labs, has a long history building screen capture technology going back to the old JScrCap tool. His current product is called “Xsplit”
