How to use FFMPEG for good/professional screen recording?

I did my own research and came up with this code:

 ffmpeg -f gdigrab -framerate 24 -i desktop output.avi

So what can I do to improve the bitrate or the quality in general? Also, is it possible to pause/continue the recording? I know q but this stops the recording.

The quality is too bad as shown and I think it’s due to low bitrate enter image description here
