Screen Sharing & Video Quality
Share a display from the desktop app to every presenter in the room, and set its size, frame rate and bitrate.
Available on every plan. Free accounts share with a watermark on the video output.
The desktop app captures a display and streams it to every presenter in the room. The full guide, with every control as it appears on macOS and Windows, is Screen sharing.
Picture quality
Size, frame rate and bitrate are in Settings, Video, because they set all of Studio, not only the share:
- Program size: 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4K or 8K, up to your plan's limit.
- Frame rate: 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 or 60.
- Automatic bitrate: on by default. Switch it off to set your own rate, from 500 to 20000 kbps.
The picture is H.264. Details: Picture quality.

- Switch Automatic bitrate off and set a lower bitrate.
- Check the network between the host and the presenters, see Security & Networking.
