Details

&bgimage can be used to set the default image avatar, when using &style=0 or &style=6. This only impacts what the person with the parameter added sees and must be either a URL or a base64 data image/svg. URL-encoded values.

https://vdo.ninja/?push=aSmexM6&style=0&vd=0&webcam&bgimage=https%3A%2F%2Fvdo.ninja%2Fmedia%2Fold_icon.png

You can encode your URL here: https://www.urlencoder.org/

If you want to change the background image / avatar on the sender's side for all viewers, use &avatar.

`&bgimage2` and `&bgimage3`

&bgimage2 and &bgimage3 work in conjunction with the existing &bgimage parameter. You pass an URL-encoded image URL to each, and when a guest speaks, it will switch their background image between the 3 possible images, based on their loudness.

eg:

vdo.ninja/alpha/?view=stream2,stream2&avatarimg=./media/avatar1.png&avatarimg2=./media/avatar2.png&avatarimg3=./media/avatar3.png

I've included some hand-drawn avatar sample images to test with; they are the default values for &bgimage, &bgimage2, and &bgimage3.

The images will only show when there is no active video and is essentially the same as using &meterstyle=4 with some custom CSS to specify the behaviour, but it is not stream ID specific however.
