Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the Element desktop app on Windows using version 1.12.26: join a video call, start screen sharing, and navigate or present content. Compare the screen-share frame rate and lag with expected behavior, then use the available issue details and request logs if further diagnosis requires them. Done means screen sharing is usable without severe lag or low frame rate.
