@tommy we tested today and the screen sharing video quality is still very bad. If we unchecked the optimize video clip, the quality is good but was lagging. Do you have any suggestions on this?

Thank you, @tommy Our team is also trying to find some workaround but cannot. I hope it can be fixed soon! Now our customers have to use Livestream zoom to youtube for the video-sharing part as the workaround.
