Bump resolution from 720p to 1080p #44

Closed vnescape closed 12 months ago

vnescape commented 1 year ago

Signal video call quality is limited to 720p. FaceTime currently offers way better quality with 1080p Video calling over WiFi or 5G. I would like to see the same for Signal Messenger as it would a really compelling feature to have. I'm not sure if other code changes accros the various code bases would be needed to bring this feature alive.

Trying to make Signal better :)

Hi @vnescape, thank you for your PR. We need to strike a balance between video quality and making Signal calling available to users across varying network conditions. Higher resolutions tend to require more bandwidth, and that can increase costs or make the app less accessible for users on more limited data plans. For now we can't change these settings.

You could post in the unofficial forums at community.signalusers.org/ as a feature request to support higher resolutions.

Hi @jim-signal, thanks for your response! As far as I can see, is the resolution dynamically adjusted based on the network conditions. So adding 1080p as another dynamic resolution setting wouldn't harm those having worse internet bandwidth.

Maybe I am missing something.
