| Value                    | Description                         |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| (positive integer value) | Delay to add in milliseconds        |
| (no value given)         | Will show the mic delay as a slider |

## Details

Delays the microphone by specified time in ms.

### Update in Version 22

Added the "mic delay" option as a slider to the director's control; it's available by default, with up to 500-ms of delay ready. If you make use of it, it will "enable" the `&micdelay` web audio node remotely if not yet on, which might cause a clicking sound. Hoping that this though can help with problematic guests who might be out of sync. This is not the same as [`&buffer`](/advanced-settings/video-parameters/buffer.md) or [`&sync`](/advanced-settings/audio-parameters/sync.md) delay, which are a view-side parameters.

`&micdelay`, if used on a basic push link, will show the mic delay as a slider now also. So you can adjust it as needed. I don't show the slider by default unless using the URL parameter, as I don't think its a commonly used feature.\
