Performance when sharing screens on video calls

jennix · Today, 09:35 AM

Hi all,

I use Tahoe 26.2 with a Macbook Pro M3 and have the problem that my computer experiences significant performance issues when I need to share my screen in a video call (using MS Teams). I already had this problem with the older DisplayLink 14.x versions, and the performance was so poor that I either couldn't move my mouse at all or the Teams session crashed completely.

It got a little better when I disabled the “Enhance Video Conferencing Apps” option, but now with DisplayLink version 15 (Build 22), it's getting worse again and disabling (or enabling) the “Enhance Video Conferencing Apps” option doesn't change anything.

I would be very grateful for any further advice, as I have to make video calls with screen sharing on a very regular basis and cannot work like this.

Thanks, jennix

Hi jennix,

In DisplayLink Manager 15.0 the performance should be actually better in this use case. I have a few questions:

What is your Macbook spec?
If you share single application window instead of entire screen, do you also observe performance degradation?
What applications are active on your desktop while you share contents of your screen?
How many screen do you use?

Regards,
Szymon
