I'm trying to present my screen on Google Meet, but it appears to be blurred to other people in the meet. Other's say that sometimes it clears but only for a quick second. I was forced to install Google Chrome and I don't have any problem on my presentation. Everything was clear. I already tried to disable all my extensions, still the problem persist.

I forgot to mention that the attached image was not taken from my computer, it's from one of the participants of the meeting. I'm also using Manjaro KDE Plasma 5.25.5, Firefox 104.x.

You will need to further investigate because Meet is clearly geared to work better in Chrome. The are several options that work in Chrome, but not available for Firefox. You should download the current version of Firefox from Mozilla and test again. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

It would help to know if the other users are in Chrome or Firefox and what versions. Testing the same process in Windows would also be interesting. Let me try this with Mac...

I just ran a test with a mac and it's blurry in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. I even tweaked the resolution, but it didn't help. I would use another app instead of meet or just use Chrome.

Yeah, I end up using Chrome just for using Google Meet. Also, I already tried updating everything in my Manjaro and tweaking some Firefox "about:config" settings, but no luck.

It was working perfectly fine tho in Windows, except that I can't use camera effects. It's only been a week since I switched from Windows to Manjaro. Google is really persistent to make us use Chrome.

I forgot to mention that I already tried viewing my presentation from my Android phone. I created a meet, just my PC and my phone. So, I don't think it's on the watcher's end. Definitely it's from my end, it's already blurred before it's even sent over the net.

If you further questions mark it as resolved and keep that hair natural and healthy.  ;-))
