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

 

Raise Teams Meeting Quality beyond 1080p (E.g., 4K) for better meeting experience and screen sharing · Community (microsoft.com)

 

Hope that answers your question

 

Best, Chris

If platform scaling is such a huge problem, then stop trying to get everything hosted in the cloud. Give the companies the option to have a MS Teams appliance local on their gigabit network. Then let them share 4k all they want, and scale out those appliances as needed.
There are times when something local on the network is better, there are times when something external hosted locally (Edge vs Cloud computing) is better.
We should not all be limited because some people don't need 4k.
