Screen Share - High CPU usage

[RafaelRibeiro]

Hello!

We are experience on different hardwares and user locations high CPU usage once user start screenshare application.

Browsers tested:

Chrome & Firefox

Most of time, users report 100% CPU.

Is there any kind of tunning?

Screen sharing performs H.264 real-time encoding. Please check chart below. It is screen-sharing 30 FPS 1920x1080 from Chrome 83, Win 10, Intel UHD Graphics 620. Core i5-8250U, 4 cores CPU. Average 60-80% CPU load.

What you can do to reduce CPU usage
1. Reduce resolution.
2. Reduce FPS.
3. Use GPU (default in Chrome)
4. Have a good CPU, i. e. Core i5 Gen 8.
