Details

&highlightmute enables Mute follows Highlight in the director control room.

https://vdo.ninja/?director=MyRoom&highlightmute

When enabled, selecting a guest with the director Highlight / solo-video control will remotely unmute that highlighted guest and remotely mute the other guests.

This is intended for production workflows where the active on-air guest should automatically be the only unmuted guest.

Limitations

This option is URL gated or manually enabled from the director room settings. If it is not enabled, Highlight behaves as it normally does.

Manual per-guest unmute changes are still possible. Those manual changes remain until the next Highlight change, when the mute-follow rule is applied again.

If the option is enabled while no guest is currently highlighted, guests may be muted until a Highlight target is selected.

The Ctrl/Cmd-click Highlight mode, which only makes a video larger, does not drive mute-follow. Only normal Highlight changes affect audio.

The rule targets normal guest audio controls only. It skips directors, screen-share entries, pseudo-guests, and guests that do not yet have a director mute control available.
