# \&noaudio

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))

## Aliases

* `&na`
* `&hideaudio`

## Details

Delivers video only streams; audio playback is disabled for all incoming streams. `&noaudio` also hides the speaker button.

You can pass a comma separated list of stream IDs that will be excluded, so that they specifically will play audio. `?noaudio=guest1a,guest2a` will only allow audio from guest1a and guest2a to play

External Iframes may or may not be muted by default if using \&noaudio. While I try to mute frames when possible, like embedded Youtube videos, there may be still some Iframe sources I cannot mute.

`&exludeaudio` can also be used to specify certain stream IDs that will NOT play audio, so the inverse of `&noaudio`

If you want to be able to unmute the speaker button during production, use [`&mutespeaker`](/advanced-settings/audio-parameters/and-mutespeaker.md) instead of `&noaudio`.

[`&deafen`](/advanced-settings/audio-parameters/deafen.md) also disables monitoring your own audio, then it's impossible to get any sound from VDO.Ninja.
