Improve ShowMyPC Session Speed

Connection speed depends on multiple factors, including operating system specifications, system resources, and the network connection of all computers involved. External network traffic beyond your service provider can also affect performance.

speedTips to Increase Responsiveness

To improve speed and increase responsiveness, try the following recommendations:

aspect_ratio Reduce your screen resolution (e.g., to 1024x768 or 800x600).
tune Test different encoding settings (see the next section below).
wallpaper Disable high-resolution desktop wallpapers. If possible, change your background to a solid color while connected.
wifi_tethering_off Reduce bandwidth usage by closing streaming audio, video, or real-time chat applications.
cancel_presentation Close any unnecessary programs to conserve system resources.
