Question

When publishing a stream from a canvas, the frame rate is low. 

Applies To

  • Video API
  • videoContentHint

Answer

By default, the publishing client assumes the content of the video. When the frame rate is low, it is assumed that a video content requires high resolution. Use videoContentHint to help specify the video type as motion, detail or text. For example, setting videoContentHint to motion helps improve frame rate.
