Resources

The resources node caps the compute a session may consume and tunes how the screen is streamed: scheduling priority and host placement, memory and CPU ceilings, desktop resolution, frame rate, streamer pipeline mode, disk quota and fine capture offsets.

Editor Resources accordion · JSON resources

The Resources editor: memory and CPU sliders, resolution presets, and frame-rate and streamer-mode controls.

Scheduling and placement

Property	Type	Default	Values / range	Notes
`priority` *	enum	—	`low`, `normal`, `high`	Scheduling priority used to resolve resource contention between sessions.
`hostPlacement` *	string	—	`auto` or a host ID	`auto` load-balances across backends; a host ID pins the session.

Compute limits

Property	Type	Default	Min / max	Units
`maxMemoryMB` *	integer	—	512 – 65536	MB (512 MB – 64 GB)
`maxCpuPercent` *	integer	—	1 – 100	percent
`diskQuotaMB`	integer	—	min 100	MB; empty = unlimited (editor caps the field at 1,048,576)

Display resolution

Property	Type	Default	Min / max	Units
`maxDesktopWidth`	integer	3840	800 – 7680	pixels
`maxDesktopHeight`	integer	2160	600 – 4320	pixels

The editor offers 720p / 1080p / 1440p / 4K presets that set both values together.

Frame rate and streaming

Property	Type	Default	Values / range	Notes
`frameRateTarget`	integer	12	1 – 60 fps	Frame rate while the session is active.
`frameRateIdle`	integer	6	1 – 30 fps	Reduced frame rate during idle periods.
`enableAdaptiveFrameRate`	boolean	true	—	Automatically drops to the idle rate during inactivity.
`activityThresholdKB`	integer	16	1 – 1024 KB	Frame-size threshold used to detect meaningful activity. Disabled when adaptive frame rate is off.
`streamerMode`	enum	balanced	`performance`, `balanced`, `lean`	`performance`: fps priority, screen compressor for large regions. `balanced`: deflate-fastest for all regions. `lean`: deflate-optimal for large regions (lowest bandwidth).

Streamer offsets

Fine adjustments under resources.streamerOffsets for window capture cropping and mouse coordinate alignment. The schema defaults are non-zero, but the built-in templates ship them at 0; only change them to correct a specific capture or pointer misalignment.

Property	Type	Default	Units	Notes
`appVerticalOffset`	integer	8	pixels	Pixels skipped at the top of the captured window (excludes frame/border).
`appHorizontalOffset`	integer	0	pixels	Pixels skipped at the left of the captured window.
`mouseXOffset`	integer	8	pixels	Horizontal mouse coordinate adjustment.
`mouseYOffset`	integer	0	pixels	Vertical mouse coordinate adjustment.

app.config.xml override

The streaming knobs have global defaults that policy overrides when present: frameRateTarget, frameRateIdle, activityThresholdKB and enableAdaptiveFrameRate come from <activityDetection>; streamerMode, maxDesktopWidth/Height and the offsets come from <webstreamSettings>. maxMemoryMB, maxCpuPercent, priority, hostPlacement and diskQuotaMB are policy-only with no app.config equivalent.

Required

Properties marked * (priority, hostPlacement, maxMemoryMB, maxCpuPercent) are required by the schema.
