Low/4K Mode

Force a default maximum screen resolution size.

This option is disabled by default.

If this option is disabled, the Shell screen resolution size will use a maximum size. This will reduce bandwidth usage.

Based on the device type, the maximum screen resolution is:

• Desktop: 1920x1080
• Mobile: 1280x720

If this option is enabled, the Shells will use the client screen size as resolution.

This option value is stored in the Local Storage of the browser.

Zoom

It scales up/down the size of the Canvas (image).

By default, the audio recording is disabled. To enable it, the user must trigger an audio recording action inside the Shell (like joining a meeting with the Shell mic on, start audio recording in audio software, etc)

When the user clicks on the enabled icon, the browser will ask permission to record audio. After accepting the permission, the recorded audio will be transfer to the Shell.
