 ## 2026-10-08 — Remote desktop streams video as H.264 `agent 0.35.0` `web 0.151.0` `api 0.121.0`
 The remote screen is now streamed as H.264 video when your browser and the machine both can, so a
 video playing on the machine, a window being dragged or a page scrolling reaches you smoothly instead
 of as a stream of still images, and with far less bandwidth. The agent uses the graphics card's
 encoder when there is one and the Windows software encoder otherwise; your browser decodes the stream
 itself. The bitrate adapts to the connection, and a screen that stops changing stops costing anything
 after half a second.
 When either end cannot — an older browser, an older agent, or a machine without a Media Foundation
 encoder — the session uses the existing image stream exactly as before. The status line under the
 picture now says which one you are getting: **H.264 video** or **JPEG images**. On Windows Server the
 software encoder comes with the optional Media Foundation feature (`Install-WindowsFeature
 Server-Media-Foundation`, then restart); without it the server streams images and the agent's event
 log says why.
 Update the agent release image, the API image and the web console image. They can be updated in any
 order; video starts once all three are. No database update is required.
