Brightness issue when streaming video and HDR is enabled

Hi there,

Me and some friends have all noticed that whenever we have HDR enabled on our display, and we are using different applications such as: Microsoft Teams, Discord, Zoom etc to share our screen that has HDR enabled, that the brightness of the screen becomes way to high for the person viewing the stream.

This happens on the latest version of windows 11 on multiple different computers with the exact same settings. So the issue is reproducible.

Below you will see a screenshot of someone viewing the screen that they are sharing on the right, and the screen that they themselves are viewing on the left (screenshot).

This issue does not happen when using recording software such as OBS or graphics drivers to record the screen. Nor does it happen when taking screenshots. The only moment this is an issue is when different applications are sharing their screen with other users. So there is probably some sort of underlying SDK that has issues with HDR.

Does anyone know if this is a known problem at microsoft and whether there is a workaround for the problem, or whether there is anyone looking into this? Can we expect a windows update to solve this problem?

Yours sincerely,

Hylke

    Hey greg,

    I've already reported this in the feedback hub. I thought I'd try an additional community forum post to generate some attention.

    And yes, I also know how to use a search engine.

    I checked all of your links.

    Obviously I've tried updating the bios firmware, display drivers and even monitor firmware if applicable.

    The fact of the matter stays that this is a reproducible issue on multiple different machines, I wouldn't be surprised if anyone with an hdr capable monitor suffers from this issue right now.

    Let's start with the microsoft official post for hdr issues.

    My issue isn't nessecarely listed but I've tried some of the steps by using the calibration app and it somehow seems to worsen the situation for streams. I've already went through the entire microsoft article to check whether that solves it.

    I've already done research on this and have found no resembling information on the web for this particular problem.

    So either no one is aware of this or no one is posting about this.

    Like usual people just post general solutions that I've obviously already tried. Even microsoft does.

    It just frustrates me that the web is full of general purpose solutions that aren't nessecarely applicable to your problem... It's not like I haven't tried any of it and it feels like a hail mary to fixing a problem which is actually reproducible.

    To go a step further, I've contacted the manufacturer of some of these screens to see if they can offer a solution, but their response was that it is a windows issue and therefore outside the scope of the manufacturers support. And I can't blame them.

    I'm going to do a test case soon to see whether on other operating systems this issue appears as well. Maybe there hasn't been any sort of kernel implementation on this issue in general.

    Hoe is het "duidelijk" wat je hebt geprobeerd? Ik weet dit niet, tenzij je me vertelt wat je hebt geprobeerd. De gemiddelde gebruiker heeft niets geprobeerd wat we voorstellen wanneer we het voorstellen, dus hoe zouden we weten dat jij de uitzondering bent?
    Als je resultaten wilt rapporteren voor de oplossingen die ik heb gegeven, weet ik beter wat ik nog meer moet voorstellen. Zo werkt interactieve help in een forum. Ik heb hier meer ervaring mee dan bijna iedereen op het web, tien jaar op rij geëerd met de hoogste onderscheiding op technisch gebied. Ik zal samenwerken met iedereen die beleefd is en meewerkt totdat het antwoord is gevonden.
