Screen sharing with an ultrawide / 4K monitor - what’s everyone’s experience like? In the past I tried to screen share with a 1440p monitor and people would complain my screen was too small so I have a secondary 1080p monitor that use exclusively for screen sharing. I’d love to move to either an ultrawide or just upgrade the 1080p monitor to a 4K one but am worried I’ll have the same issues it appearing small on the other persons end. Anyone have any suggestions?

I keep my zoom ratio at like 150% or 200% on my 4K monitor so it doesn’t seem to be an issue

I find that it’s nice for the desktop, otherwise everything is really small! I sit 3-4 feet from my monitor so YMMV

I have two 27" 2k monitors and if I am going to screen share outside of a pptx in presentation mode I have just gotten in the habit of changing the shared monitor resolution to 1920x1080 and everyone seems to be able to see what's going on better.

I didn't get 4k because i had read Windows 10 didn't scale properly and I anticipated the screen share issues but was hoping the 2k wasn't as much of an issue but still a problem. 🤷🏽

Sm1 haha I was actually just writing a script that could quickly change the resolution of a screen prior to screen sharing and then switch back after I stop as a potential solution if I did go 4K

Are you connecting a laptop to an external monitor or using a desktop? If you’re connecting a laptop, share your laptop screen instead of the monitor.

I currently use my laptop plus 2 external monitors. I was hoping to close my laptop and put it in a vertical stand then just use the external monitors and a keyboard
