High CPU Usage

When screen sharing, the CPU usage is super high (macOS 10.15.6, Desktop App). So much so, that the computer freezes up. Please reduce CPU usage.

I'm still experiencing high CPU usage up to the point that I need to stop sharing my screen

Andrew Jackman (and anyone else experiencing this), could you please find a time to debug this live via https://calendly.com/j-pop/debug-session? We aren't able to reproduce such high CPU usage on our end, so being able to see it on your end and test its response to changing bandwidth / frame rate would enable us to understand the root cause and solve it.

I have the same issue. When screen sharing, kernel_task can exceed 1000%! It totally kills my ability to compile the code (Kotlin in IntelliJ). I'm currently using Tuple when pairing with Mac users, and have given up sharing my screen using Pop when pairing with non-mac colleagues because it is un-useable. I have a 5k LG display connected, which I share, but I have unchecked the "Use full resolution" option in advanced preferences.

Ideally you want hardware accelerated video encoding/decoding. This would drop the CPU usage to basically 0% and support much faster and sharper video.

I'm definitely struggling with this too, also on MacOS 10.15.6, I'll ask my coworkers on Windows/Linux if they see this too, wonder if this is a Mac specific issue?
