Updates to C++ SDK (v2.4.0-beta.2) - Desktop capture improvements.

C++ SDK

2.4.0-beta.2

Features

  • Improved screen share resolution and latency on Linux/Windows platforms. Remote participants viewing the screen capture will have a smoother experience with higher FPS.
  • Increased the maximum camera capture resolution on Apple silicon to 1080p.

Changes

The SDK allows calling start_screen_share consecutively, without stopping the screen share, to switch seamlessly between capture sources. Previously, switching from window to full-screen capture would result in encoder issues, so screen share must be stopped first. With this change switching from window to full-screen capture without stopping the screen share first results in an exception. Switching between capturing different windows, between different full screens, and from full screen to window can still be done without stopping the screen share first and is unaffected by this change.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where changing the screen share source ID was not properly detected.
