Description

Sets video input to screen.
cropRectLeft, cropRectBottom, cropRectWidth, cropRectHeight indicate the bounding rectangle of the screen area to be captured in pixels.
Screen input captures the entire area of the display with which it is associated. To limit the capture rectangle to a subsection of the screen, set the cropRect property, which defines a smaller section of the screen in the screen's coordinate system. The origin (0,0) is the bottom-left corner of the screen.

This function is not available for iOS as AVFoundation framework on iOS has no screen input class.
