 | Language | 中文, English, Русский |
 | Capture Method (Windows) | Auto / DXGI / WGC / GDI; choose Auto for automatic headless adaptation |
-| Video Encode Format | H.264 / AV1; hardware codec availability depends on the platform, device, and build options |
+| Video Encode Format | H.264 / AV1; H.264 automatically prefers hardware codecs, with software fallback when unavailable or initialization fails; desktop AV1 uses software codecs |
 | Enable TURN Service | Allow relay-assisted connections; check this setting if P2P fails |
 | Force Relay | Require relay connections when TURN is enabled; turning TURN off also disables this option |
 | Save remote screen previews | On by default. When disabled, the thumbnail area shows the remote device’s platform and existing previews are cleared; connection records and passwords are preserved |

+- 两张常规设置截图（`desktop-settings-zh.png` / `desktop-settings-en.png`）于 **2026-10-22** 从 `f8f4aa3c` 加当前工作区修改重新渲染，移除硬件编解码开关；使用现有 `slint_ui_smoke_test`、macOS arm64 和 2× 软件渲染，PPM 中间文件存放在工程外临时目录。
 - 16 张中英文桌面截图更新于 **2026-10-19**，UI 源代码为 `1ef372d2`，使用 Slint 1.17.1、macOS arm64 和软件渲染器。图片直接渲染仓库中的 Slint 组件。
 - 捕获程序来自现有 [`slint_ui_smoke_test`](../../apps/desktop/tests/slint_ui_smoke_test.cpp)，在**工程外的临时目录**中复制源文件，仅为桌面墙调整演示设备数量、单元格宽度和网格窗口高度。Slint 组件没有改动，工程内没有新增或修改测试文件。
 - 主窗口展示桌面墙入口、连接区、近期设备卡片与分组筛选；设置展示“常规 / 桌面墙”选项卡，关于窗口展示三个赞助入口。桌面墙网格展示六台演示设备；放大图展示只读预览、群控和接管入口，没有建立真实连接。
