“An AppleRD connection opens a Mac's screen in a tab. On Apple silicon with macOS 14 or later it takes Apple's own High Performance path — H.264 or HEVC video decoded on your GPU, the Mac's system audio, and a sharp virtual display sized to your window or a mirror of the Mac's own screen — the mode that so far only Apple's Screen Sharing app could use.”
