Screen Sharing is very laggy

[Daniel-Fuerst]

Using a supported version?

• [X] I have searched searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
• [X] I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.

Overall summary

The signal screen share on signal desktop is very laggy - about 5FPS as I'd guess

Steps to reproduce

1. Call somebody
2. Share your screen

Expected result

The screen should show to the other person smoothly

Actual result

The screen shows to the other person, but it is not smooth at all

@Daniel-Fuerst Hi there! Sorry this is happening for you, but it's currently by design to limit screenshare FPS because we support high resolutions and wanted to balance bandwidth usage. We are considering ways to let you screenshare with higher framerates.

Thanks for explaining! I'd like to see a menu where you can configure both Framerate & Resolution. Maybe under an 'advanced' section in the Settings
