# \&graphs

Director/Viewer Option! (primarily used with the Director)

## Options

Example: `&graphs`

| Value      | Description                           |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------- |
| (no value) | Enable performance graphs and toggles |

## Details

* Director view: shows per-viewer graphs and a director summary panel (bitrate, resolution, codec). A small toggle in each tile can show/hide graphs.
* Interactive controls: clicking the bitrate or resolution labels in the director graphs prompts you to set a target remote bitrate or resolution for that viewer.
* Non-director viewers: when present, `&graphs` enables per-stream graphs where supported.
* Intended for diagnostics and fine-tuning; avoid using during shows if overlays are not desired.
