# ScreenSharingHostSettings

The declaration to configure screen-sharing host settings and restrictions.

## Declaration

```data
object ScreenSharingHostSettings
```

## Properties

MaximumVirtualDisplays: The maximum number of virtual displays to make available to clients. PortBase: The initial UDP port number to connect to the host. Screen sharing requires multiple connections, so the system increments this value by 1 for each additional connection. This doesn’t change the port number that the system uses to initially establish a connection with a host, which is always TCP port 5900. PreventCopyFilesFromHost: If true, the system prevents users from copying files from the screen-sharing host. PreventCopyFilesToHost: If true, the system prevents users from copying files to the screen-sharing host. PreventHighPerformanceConnections: If true, the system prevents clients from establishing high-performance connections to the host.
