## 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.
