# \&compressor

Sender-Side Option! ([`&push`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/push.md))

## Aliases

* `&comp`

## Details

By adding `&compressor` to a source link, it applies a generic audio compressor to the local microphone.

An audio compressor can help reduce spikes in audio loudness.

{% hint style="info" %}
The compressor is **off by default**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
This will enable the audio processing pipeline.
{% endhint %}

There is a toggle in the director's room which adds `&comp` to the guest's invite link.\
