This page is for anyone sizing a connection for Remotle sessions.


Remotle adjusts the picture to the connection. As a guide, at full quality each screen uses up to:

ResolutionBitrate
1280 x 72015 Mbps
1920 x 108025 Mbps
2560 x 144040 Mbps
3840 x 216080 Mbps

These are peaks while the screen is changing. A still desktop uses far less. The Responsive mode uses 40% of these figures.

The Stats tab of the session menu shows the bitrate a session is using now, updated every second, with the latency and the path in use.

The Stats tab of the session menu showing Bitrate 24.1 Mbps, Latency 11 ms, Network Healthy, Codec H.265 4:4, Transport QUIC direct and a latency graph

On a slower connection, choose the Smooth preset on the Picture tab of the session menu. Smooth is designed for connections under 5 Mbps.
