# \&roomcap

Director Option! ([`&director`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/director-parameters/director))

## Aliases

* `&rcap`

## Options

Example: `&roomcap=20`

<table><thead><tr><th width="200">Value</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Integer (> 0)</td><td>Maximum admitted guests for the claimed room.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Details

`&roomcap` sets a server-side admission cap for a claimed room.

On the official VDO.Ninja service:

* Default cap is `80` when not set.
* Maximum accepted value is `80` (higher values are clamped).
* New join attempts are blocked when the cap is reached.
* Transfers into the destination room also respect this cap.
* Matching `&roomkey` values can bypass a lower custom `&roomcap` (for example, `50`), but cannot bypass the server hard cap of `80`.

This works on the official hosted service (`vdo.ninja`) and on self-hosted services that include the same room-admission implementation.
