How can I disable the following settings under Share Screen \> Advanced \> Use hardware acceleration for:  
Screen Sharing  
Annotations on a shared screen or whiteboard  
Use hardware acceleration to optimize video sharing

These settings are not available in the Zoom GPO admx, and are not available in the pre-configuration install flags. Disabling these 3 settings by default is the recommended best solution to video issues over screen share, and we need to do so for 4000+ desktops. Can this be done with Registry Settings instead?

Referred to this forum by Zoom support as they did not have an answer.

All Windows 10 devices with Zoom 5.7.804

Already found GPO settings for generic video related hardware acceleration, these did not turn off the share screen hardware acceleration settings.

Hey @rbailey5,

Thanks for using the dev forum!

Are you using the Zoom app or the Zoom windows sdk?

Thanks!  
Michael
