Screen sharing and quality

What you can share, what quality to expect and what it depends on.

You can share the whole screen or a single window, with the app's sound. Encoding runs on the graphics card, and the quality adapts to the viewer's connection.

Quality

  • without a subscription — up to 2K (1440p) at 60 frames per second;
  • with a Super subscription — up to 4K (2160p) at 60 frames per second, as much as your GPU can handle.

In server voice channels the stream quality limit and the audio bitrate depend on the server's Resonance level: for example, 720p at 30 fps at level 0 and up to 1080p at 60 fps at higher levels; audio from 96 to 384 kbit/s. The exact table is on the Resonance page.

The arrow button in the corner of a stream moves it into a separate window. A full-screen stream on macOS opens on a separate desktop.
