# Meshcast Parameters

**Meshcast Parameters** are specific to the [`&meshcast`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/meshcast-parameters/and-meshcast) parameter. They are all parameters for the publisher's side ([`&push`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/push)) and have to be used together with [`&meshcast`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/meshcast-parameters/and-meshcast).
