# \&blur

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))

## Options

Example: `&blur=25`

| Value            | Description             |
| ---------------- | ----------------------- |
| (no value given) | blurring intensity = 10 |
| (integer)        | blurring intensity      |
| `25`             | blurring intensity = 25 |

## Details

`&blur` which will try to add a blurred background to the video so it fits the structured video container. Using `&blur` auto enables [`&structure`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/design-parameters/and-structure).

Code in the auto mixer, so you won't see the effect in a simple preview or some self-preview types.

`&blur` doesn't work with [`&color`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/design-parameters/and-color), etc.

You can change the blurring intensity with `&blur=25` or whatever; `10` is default

`&blur=0` works as well.

May be buggy if using it with [`&forcedlandscape`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mobile-parameters/and-forcelandscape) or [`&rotate`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/design-parameters/and-rotate)
