    \brief This class is used for capturing a window.
 
    The class captures a window. It is managed by
    the \l QMediaCaptureSession class where the captured window can be displayed
    in a video preview object or recorded to a file.
 
    The following snippet shows how to select one of the capturable windows and
    display the result in a \l QVideoWidget:

    WindowCapture captures a window. It is managed by

    The code below shows a simple capture session that captures one of the
    available windows with WindowCapture and plays it back in a
    \l {QtMultimedia::VideoOutput}{VideoOutput}.
