Increase video quality for screen sharing.
- Dec 30, 2021
Thanks for the feedback. You are right that the current limit is 1080p resolution as per Microsoft documentation.

There has been calls for this online for a long time about going beyond 1080p - for example, to 4k. Microsoft restricted it for a while to 720p because of platform scaling, but I think we are at the point it needs to happen, especially as cameras like the Brio support it.
I have raised a feedback for you here. I am sure there was one previously on Uservoice but this doesn't seem to have been moved over. I would recommend voting up and getting as many to do so to get it in front of the product team
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris
I use a 46 inch monitor at 4k resolution. I NEVER share my screen, because I know no one else can see it. I will share apps, but I generally work to make sure that the app takes less than a quarter of my screen so that others can see it.
There is a magnify option for the viewers so that they can enlarge it if needed.
Ed Woodrick Yeah, it's a 34" 3440x1440. I set it to 16:9 and zoom things in on my screen whenever I am sharing though. Honestly the 1080P cap on resolution is fine, it's more that the whole thing doesn't seem to want to go over ~4mbps of bandwidth which results in very low framerate and bad video compression.
