How to setup `screen` command to run for every ssh session?

Question

I'd like to record the activity for every ssh user connecting to my box. I think screen could help with it. I'm thinking on having screen running for every ssh user automatically upon ssh login and recording its activity to some file. Is that possible?

If your OS allows it, consider to use byobu, see some arguments for the why here: https://superuser.com/questions/423310/byobu-versus-gnu-screen-versus-tmux
