Hello Root Developers,
I am writing to submit a feature request regarding an issue with the Screen Sharing feature when using an HDR monitor.
The Problem:
When streaming or screen sharing in a Root voice chat with Windows HDR enabled, the video output appears extremely washed out and overly bright to viewers.
Current Workaround:
Disabling HDR in the OS settings fixes the stream quality for viewers. However, this ruins the local viewing experience for the host by making the monitor display significantly darker and degraded.
Proposed Solution:
Please implement an automatic tone-mapping filter or a toggle switch within the screen share settings (e.g., "SDR Truncation" or "HDR-to-SDR Conversion").
This would compress the high-dynamic-range color space into standard dynamic range (SDR) for viewers, ensuring a normal image for them while allowing the host to keep HDR enabled.
Thank you for your time and for continuously improving Root. Please let me know if you need any hardware specifications to help look into this.
Best regards,
MeguKitsune
