There are several ways to improve performance of video recording. If you want to get better frame-rate, experiencing glitches in the recorded video, or running the application on a low-end device, follow one or more instructions below to improve the performance of video recording.

==== Output Resolution ====
Performance improves significantly when [[Video_recording#Output|a smaller resolution]] is selected. It also reduces size of the output file.

==== Frame-Rate ====
Another important factor in improving performance is frame rate of the output size. [[Settings#Video|Lower frame rate]] improves performance significantly. However, a very low frame rate video may also look laggy. Currently, the default frame rate is set to 20; if you are experiencing performance issues, we suggest you to lower the frame rate to 10.

==== Output Quality ====
Lowering [[Settings#Video|quality of the output ]] is another way to improve the performance.

==== Capture Area ====
If recording entire desktop is not necessary, you may use different [[Video_recording#Capture Modes|capture mode]] to record smaller area.

==== Display Resolution ====
Usually, display adapters support multiple resolutions for the display. Selecting a lower resolution improves performance significantly. To lower the display resolution:

#Open '''Settings''' app from '''Action Center'''.
#Click '''System''' to open ''System settings''.
#From the left side menu, Click '''Display''' to open ''Display'' settings.
#From '''Resolution''' selector, select an smaller resolution.
#Click '''Keep Changes''' to confirm

=== Game Settings ===
If you use Screenbits to record your gaming experience, you can also improve performance of the app significantly by adjusting settings in game.

==== Start recording in game ====
It is highly recommended to start recording in-game rather than starting when the game is minimized and then switching to the game. You can use [[Settings#Hotkeys|hotkeys]] to start recording in game while the app is minimized.

==== Game Resolution ====
Using lower resolutions improves performance significantly. Refer to your game options to lower the resolution, if supported.

==== Video Quality ====
Lowering the video quality can also improve performance. Refer to your game options to lower the quality, if supported.
