High Motion Screen Sharing increases the Framerate of the Teams Screen Sharing System and the Application to reduce the Lag introduced by itself.

Press: CLTR+ALT+SHIFT+T

This can only be done while in a Meeting.

ANC / HFA

If Active Noise Cancellation and/or High Fidelity Audio is enabled, this can significantly reduce Performance of Microsoft Teams.

One specific Case, when using a ANC-capable Headset and having ANC enabled for both the Headset itself and Teams, this can lead to a race-condition between the two Systems that will impact performance while in Meetings.

It is recommended, to only use one ANC System and disable HFA if not necessary
