The Effects subsection includes settings for turning on/off visual effects on the Host desktop to improve performance of screen capture. By disabling certain visual effects, the amount of screen data that is captured and transmitted over the network can be greatly reduced, improving speed and performance. The Account User can click on the Edit button to view and/or edit any of these configuration options.
