When a guest shares their screen during a group chat, it creates a secondary VDO.Ninja session to share that screen, alongside their active webcam. Two streams as a result.
Using this parameter will give you control over the quality of the screen share, specifically, overriding what you might have set with . It will not impact the webcam quality.
Set a target quality for your screen share, when you screen share as a secondary stream (in a room).
If looking to screen share a document at the highest quality possible, consider the follow URL parameters:
&screensharequality=-1 may be a good option for screen sharing documents, where more sharpness is needed.
&screensharecontenthint=detail to hint to use higher resolution over frame rates; this would be applied to the viewer's URL.
&codec=av1 can also be applied to the viewer's URL to change to a better video codec.
&screensharebitrate=6000 on the viewer side can increase the video bitrate, but you can go upwards of 20000-kbps if needed for heavier motion-based video.
&sharperscreen on the viewer end can avoid scaling down the image if the playback window is smaller than the video's native resolution. This will avoid double aliasing issues.
As well, if using OBS Studio for playback, you can add a sharpness filter to the video to improve the clarity. This can undo some of the softness caused by video compression, improving edge sharpness.
If in a group room, as a guest, the director can increase the total bitrate of the room, which will improve the screen share quality for all the guests in the room. By default, guests and directors view a screen share at a relatively low bitrate.
