1. A computer-implemented method to set refresh rates for different portions of a shared screen in a sharing session, comprising:
- setting, by a processor, an initial refresh rate for the sharing session, wherein the sharing session is between a display device that displays the shared screen and a remote client device that displays the shared screen;
selecting, by the processor, a portion of the shared screen;
selecting, by the processor, a refresh rate for the selected portion of the shared screen that is different from the initial refresh rate for the sharing session, wherein the selected refresh rate is a real number for how often the selected portion of the shared screen is refreshed each second, and wherein the selected refresh rate is selected from one of a first range including a high refresh rate, a medium refresh rate, and a low refresh rate, and wherein the low refresh rate is approximately 0.1 Hz, the high refresh rate is approximately 2 Hz, and the medium refresh rate is one of approximately 0.5 Hz and approximately 0.9Hz; and
refreshing, by the processor, the selected portion based on the selected refresh rate and a portion not selected based on the initial refresh rate.

Abstract
Illustrative embodiments disclose setting refresh rates for different portions of a shared screen in a sharing session. A processor sets an initial refresh rate for the sharing session. The processor selects a portion of the shared screen. The processor selects a refresh rate for the selected portion of the shared screen that is different from the initial refresh rate for the sharing session. The processor refreshes the selected portion based on the selected refresh rate and a portion not selected based on the initial refresh rate.
