Live Screen Capture is a screen recording utility included with Roxio Toast on Mac for capturing onscreen activity for tutorials, demos, and video projects.
What is Live Screen Capture?
Live Screen Capture is a Mac screen recording utility that is included with Roxio Toast and opened from the Toast Extras menu. It helps users capture onscreen activity for training videos, demonstrations, and other video projects without needing a separate recorder. The tool supports full-screen recording or a custom capture area, and it includes options for frame rate, resolution presets, microphone input, and mouse click animation. Users can pause and resume recordings with keyboard shortcuts and then save the finished video for later editing, sharing, or disc-authoring workflows. It is most useful for people already using Toast for media creation and DVD or Blu-ray projects, since captured videos can be brought into the broader Toast workflow.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a legitimate screen recording tool that is installed with Roxio Toast. It may request normal macOS permissions for screen recording and microphone access so it can capture video and narration. Those permissions are expected for this type of utility, but recordings can include sensitive information visible on your screen, so close private windows and mute or disconnect the microphone when you do not want audio captured.
Recommendation: Keep Live Screen Capture if you use Roxio Toast to make tutorials, demos, or other screen-based videos. If you never use Toast’s capture features, you can remove it along with the related Toast components, but doing so may disable screen recording features inside that suite.
