    Flash uses the Camera class to access video feeds exposed by the OS in the
    computer. The only program I know of is Camtasia Recorder with its live
    output option.

    If you find another let me know as Camtasia Recorder is also a hugh drain on
    the publishing computer.

    If the Camera object does not see the screen recording tool, then you cannot
    do it.

    Any decent desktop dimensions will be very bandwidth intensive because it is
    multiplied by all the subscribers at the FMS server. Be sure to do those
    computations before you commit to a development schedule. Plus you have your
    audio stream. With even a few subscribers you can reach 2 or 3 Mbps
    requirements. However if the bandwidth pipe is affordable, you can minimize
    the total bandwidth consumption over the duration of the stream with pausing
    the desktop publishing.
