- Hi supportsib,
fps means Frames per second. Here is a definition

The greater the FPS, the smoother the video motion appears, and the greater the speed at which images are shown. Full-motion video is usually 30 FPS or greater. For example, movies are usually displayed at 24fps, since this frame rate is similar to how we see the world, and creates a very cinematic look. Video that’s broadcast live or video with a lot of motion, such as a sporting event or video game recording, will often have a higher frame rate, as there’s a lot happening at once and a higher frame rate keeps the motion smooth and the details crisp.
Some Teams cameras are designed to be able to capture higher fps

Video content with a higher frame rate has more data to transmit compared to a video with a lower frame rate, but as the article below states - which is a good read - you may not need 60 fps depending on what you are trying to achieve

540p on 1080p screen means 540 pixel videos on a 1080 pixel screen refers to the resolution of the video call. As a general rule the higher the resolution the higher the bandwidth. Now, groups calls because they have more people on them will be higher bandwidth than peer-to-peer or 1:1 video calls.
There is a uservoice open to be able to set your own video resolution quality in the Teams Meeting here

Hi there,
Considering the provided information about video calling quality at different Mbps rates and resolutions, switching to 60fps could potentially enhance the video calling experience. Higher frames per second (fps) can result in smoother and more lifelike motion in videos, making your video calls more dynamic and enjoyable.
Regarding "540p videos on 1080p screen," this means that the video content is being displayed on a screen with a resolution of 1080p, but the actual video itself has a resolution of 540p FMWA. In other words, the video is not utilizing the full resolution of the 1080p screen. While the video may still look decent, it won't be as sharp or detailed as a video with a native resolution matching the screen.
Feel free to explore the 60fps option to see if it enhances the video calling experience for you, and if you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know.
Thanks,
Janny Jazz
