    Thank you. By default when we screen share we limit it to changes on your screen, rather than a constant stream at say 24 fps. This is done to keep reduce the amount of data we are transmitting and the bandwidth requirements for Presenters and Attendees. As most customers are presenting a Powerpoint deck or demoing an application this meets the requirements, but if you are try to share a video on your desktop it will be choppy.   

     

    For Classic GoToWebinar we added a Share Video feature that lets you upload a video in advance (or a YouTube link), and play it back in a dedicated stream at a higher frame rate. Before this was added customer would use tools like manycam to play videos through their webcam feed as it supports a higher frame rate. 

     

    With the GoTo App we have added an Optimize for video option that improves sharing video on your desktop by maintaining a constant frame rate, but it also may lower resolution to achieve this. The Share Video feature is also available in the GoTo App, uploaded videos are listed in the Materials menu.  

     

    From my own testing the Share Video feature gives the best result for video and enabling the Optimize for Video feature improves demoing applications. To fully switch to using the GoTo App sign into your account on the website and you will see a banner at the top, or select Settings in the menu on the left.
