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

Hi Szymon,

I'm using a Macbook Pro M3 Pro 2024 with 18 GB RAM.

I have a 43-inch 4K monitor and a 27-inch Full HD monitor (rotated 90 degrees) connected to it. The notebook is usually closed. The two monitors are connected via a Baseus Spacemate Displaylink Docking Station USB C 11-in-1.

It makes no (noticeable) difference whether I share an entire screen or a single window.

The following apps are usually open: MS Outlook, MS Teams (of course), MS Edge, or Safari. Sometimes other Office components such as Excel. I mostly share browser windows in which web apps such as Jira, Confluence, or Codebeamer are running.

best regards, Jens
