MacBook Air M1 QuickTime screen recording quality low

My screen recording quality from quicktime on Macbook Air M1 is noticeably lower quality and pixellated compared to Macbook M1 Pro 16" 2021, can anyone please explain to me why this is? Also, there used to be a quality change setting between Low and High on the M1 Pro 16", but on my M1 Air Quicktime, there is no such option.
