- GPU Scaling (EGL/DMA mode) – scales the desktop on the GPU; only the small final texture is sent to the CPU.
- optional HW acceleration – option to disable EGL in the Pipewire configuration.
- Auto-resume – automatically restarts the grabber if dimensions change or the stream fails.
- EGL texture caching – improves performance by reusing textures.
- MemFD caching – reuses file descriptor memory mappings.
