&activehighlight

Automatically drives Highlight / Featured from the current active speaker.

Viewer-Side Option! (&view, &scene, &room)

&activehighlight uses VDO.Ninja's active-speaker detection to automatically control the Highlight / Featured guest state.

Use this when you want the person currently speaking to become larger, while the other guests remain visible in the same scene layout.

Options

Value	Description
2 | (no value given)	Uses the secondary Highlight / Featured mode. The active speaker becomes larger, but other visible guests remain in the layout.
1	Uses normal Highlight, which is closer to a full speaker focus mode.

Example:

https://vdo.ninja/?room=ROOMNAME&scene=0&activehighlight=2&cleanoutput

Alias example:

https://vdo.ninja/?room=ROOMNAME&scene=0&activespeakerfeatured&cleanoutput

By itself, &activehighlight=2 does not enable &activespeaker, so it does not hide non-speaking guests. If you also add &activespeaker, the normal active-speaker hide/show behavior still applies.

You can add &activespeakerdelay if speaker changes are happening too quickly.

The scene or view link still needs to receive and process guest audio to know who is speaking. Do not add &noaudio or &noap to the same link unless another script is controlling Highlight for you.

By default, this mode follows video-capable speakers, similar to &activespeaker=3, so audio-only sources do not take over the Featured layout.
