Could you build this?

No This is either malware spam or an attempt to replicate FastStone Capture, a native desktop screen recorder and editor requiring deep OS-level graphics APIs (DirectX/GDI, Desktop Duplication API) and low-level video encoding pipelines.

What it would actually take: A desktop screen capture suite requires low-level C++ or Rust development interfacing directly with Windows APIs (Windows Graphics Capture, DXGI Desktop Duplication API, DirectShow/WASAPI for audio) and media encoders like FFmpeg or Media Foundation. Key engineering challenges include multi-monitor DPI scaling, low-latency zero-copy frame capturing, synchronized audio/video muxing, and a high-performance custom canvas for annotation drawing.
