# \&channeloffset

Viewer-Side Option! ([`&view`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/view.md), [`&scene`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/scene.md), [`&room`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/room.md))

## Options

Example: `&channeloffset=1`

| Value           | Description                                                  |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| (numeric value) | Number of channels to shift the audio, starting at channel 0 |

## Details

`&channeloffset` shifts audio channels 0 and 1 up channels, based on the offset value you set.

Total channels is assumed to be 8 if this is used and not otherwise specified.

Does not work with all audio output devices and may require experimentation.

Best to use this with a mono input, as stereo channel shifting can cause issues - simpler that way.

Please see here for detailed testing results with different audio devices: <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R-y7xZ2BCn-GzTlwqq63H8lorXecO02DU9Hu4twuhuA/>
