My MacBook Pro 2017 is lagging during screen sharing

I tried it on a smooth internet connection, but why is it still laggy? Is it because this Mac is no longer strong enough to share screens or record?

Old issue, new issue, what changed? It would seem some context here would be insightful(?)

Note the current macOS Montery is 12.7.6

I don't believe " because this Mac is no longer strong enough to share screens or record"..

—I would verify you have 15-20% free storage on your hard drive to operate efficiently and not choked.

—Uninstall any VPN you are using to compare your results

—Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus

all known to cause issues on the macOS

—unplug all non-essential  peripherals when testing

further trouble shoot further you can:

 —A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.

Login and test. Reboot  as normal and test.  Caches get rebuilt automatically.

This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode. 

—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

 This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.

Hi everyone, I’m currently using a MacBook Pro 2017 (Intel i5), and I’m experiencing serious lag when I share my screen on Google Meet while recording the screen at the same time.

Is this normal for this model, or is there any way to optimize the performance? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
