From KDE UserBase Wiki

To check on your linux distro, type ffmpeg -version in a terminal and look for --enable-x11grab in the reported configuration info. [1]

  1. There are now two branches of ffmpeg: a Libav branch and an ffmpeg.org branch. The ffmpeg version from the latter branch reports the configuration when you run with ffmpeg -version. The Libav version does not. So this method to check for the --enable-x11grab does not work if you have the Libav version of ffmpeg.
