# \&forcecontrols

General Option! ([`&push`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/push), [`&room`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/room), [`&view`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/view), [`&scene`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/scene))

## Details

`&forcecontrols` is experimental, but it will try to keep the video controls visible, even if your mouse isn't hovering over the video.

{% hint style="info" %}
The VDO.Ninja tab/window still needs to be 'active' however, for this to work; changing focus to another tab will stop it.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only works really for Chrome/Chromium on desktop; not Firefox, etc.
{% endhint %}
