## 2026-10-08 — H.265 video for very large screens in the remote-desktop viewer `agent 0.46.0` `api 0.128.0` `web 0.156.0`
The "Picture mode" menu of the remote-desktop viewer has a third mode, H.265 video. H.264 carries a
screen up to about 4096 × 2304; H.265 goes up to 8192 × 4320, so a very large or very wide screen
(two 4K monitors side by side, for example) can now be watched as smooth video instead of JPEG
images.
You do not have to choose it: when nobody has chosen a mode, a screen that fits H.264 stays on
H.264 and a larger one goes to H.265 by itself, and the menu shows the mode that is actually
arriving. Choosing H.265 on a smaller screen works too.
H.265 is encoded by the remote machine's graphics card. A machine without a hardware HEVC encoder,
such as a virtual machine without a GPU or most servers, falls back to H.264 when the screen fits it
and to JPEG images otherwise, and its agent log says why. Your browser must also be able to decode
H.265, which Chrome and Edge do on a computer with a recent graphics card; without that, the menu
does not offer H.265.
Update the API, the web image and the agent release image. No database update is required. With an
older agent or an older API, the menu offers JPEG and H.264 as before.

The remote-desktop toolbar has a new cursor button, next to the size button. It hides the remote
