# Meshcast Parameters

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