I'd like to get started doing screen capture (of video content) on Windows 10 (specifically on a laptop), using C#. My preference is to code in a WinForms app but I'd consider a UWP app if that was easier.

There's a lot of material on the web but I'm not sure where to start as it's usually older content or about DirectShow which requires the use of C++ (e.g. "Windows Media" > "The Windows Development Reference: Audio and Video in Desktop Apps" > "Audio and Video").

There's the SO question "How to capture screen to be video using C# .Net?" but that's from 2010 and uses (presumably) depreciated software versions as the core.

Do you want to stream video, audio, and images to other devices on your local network? – Andrii Krupka Feb 15 '16 at 10:08
No, I want to capture video content running on my local machine – Adrian K Feb 15 '16 at 21:09
@AndriiKrupka - I was wanting to capture the video stream and pass it to another applications API in C#. Would you have some guidance? – Sal Velazquez Feb 16 '16 at 23:11
