Increase video quality for screen sharing.
Am I alone in finding the video quality for screen sharing borderline unacceptable? It seems to cap out at 1080P with very strong compression at a low framerate. My company are all software developer...
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 think that there are a number of things that you might not be thinking about when sharing. The first being what size screen are you sharing from. The next being what size screen are you viewing on.
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.
