  • While I’m sharing my screen using MS Teams the the video quality is so poor, I can’t share quality video, what to do?

    • Hello @ultraflysolutions,

      If you are facing poor video quality while sharing your screen then the main culprit is your internet connection. You can try to use a wired connection or you may have to increase the internet speed by opting for a higher plan with your ISP.

      Other than the primary solution, close all background apps that hog your resources unnecessarily, reduce the screen resolution to improve the video quality, and disable the hardware acceleration in Teams.
