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
Hello,
The sharing quality can also drop depending on your machine screen connection. For instance, I've just changed my screen connection (from VGA to mini Displayport) and now screen sharing is awfull.
I've found a solution: disabling hardware acceleration in Teams, then restarted it, and now my PC is slower, but I've got a decent screen sharing quality (at least it matches 1080p without removing pixels).
So bandwidth is important, but you can check removing HW acceleration and make a try 🙂
