Open Settings

Open the menu on the Alluno bar and choose Settings. The panel scrolls, from Video at the top down to Startup.

Change what you need, then choose Save at the top. The app stores the change and applies it. A dot beside Settings means there are changes you have not saved yet, and the round arrows beside Save load the saved settings again.

Width and heightpixels

The size of the picture you send. Auto-detect uses the screen's own size, and the number in brackets shows what it found.

Framerateframes per second

Auto-detect follows the screen's refresh rate.

BitrateMbps

How much data the video may use each second. 0 lets Alluno choose from the quality.

Frame processing modechoice

How each frame is prepared for the encoder. Auto picks the best method for this computer.

Codec and encoderchoice

The video format, and the part of the computer that encodes it. The lists offer what this computer supports. Auto picks for you.

Capture backendchoice

How the app reads the screen. Auto picks one for the situation.

Display, colour and sound

Displaychoice

Which screen to send, when the computer has more than one. Primary is the main screen.

Pixel formatchoice

How colour is packed in each frame. NV12 is standard colour. P010 carries HDR when the screen itself shows HDR. On Windows and Linux the list adds 4:4:4 formats, which keep coloured text sharper.

Virtual displaychoice

Auto (headless only) creates a virtual screen only when no monitor is attached, so a computer with no screen still has a picture to send.

Audiochannels and kbps

Channels sets mono or stereo, and Bitrate how much data the sound may use, in kbps.
