## Details

`&screensharecontenthint` can customize how you want VDO.Ninja to balance screen-share resolution vs screen-share frame rate, specifically when bitrate or CPU is insufficient to offer both at the same time.

The two options are `detail` or `motion`. Screen-shares generally tend towards `detail` by default, and camera sources are tend towards `motion` by default. `detail` will try to prioritize resolution over frame rate, so the frame rate may drop a lot used. `motion` will try to maximize frame rate, but may drop the resolution a lot. There's no way to force both on as there's no magic bullet if your CPU or network cannot keep up.

For more information on how to lock or maximize the resolution of a video feed, please see the following guide:

[How to lock the resolution](/guides/how-do-i-lock-the-resolution.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

There is [`&contenthint`](/advanced-settings/video-parameters/and-contenthint.md) if you want the parameter to affect all kinds of video sources. You can also use both, `&screensharecontenthint` will override [`&contenthint`](/advanced-settings/video-parameters/and-contenthint.md) for just screen-shares if set also.

{% hint style="info" %}
If using [`&codec=vp9`](/advanced-settings/video-parameters/codec.md) on the viewer side, the frame rate may drop as low as even 5-fps.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
This parameter has been tested on Chrome, but other browsers may vary in behavior. Safari seems to just ignore things, for example.
{% endhint %}
