# \&fakeguests

Creates simulated guest videos

Viewer-Side Option! ([`&view`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/view.md), [`&scene`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/scene.md), [`&room`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/room.md))

## Aliases

* `&fakefeeds`

## Options

Example: `&fakeguests=7`

<table><thead><tr><th width="200">Value</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>(integer number)</td><td>creates simulated guest videos, based on the value passed to the parameter</td></tr><tr><td>(no value given)</td><td>4 fake guests added</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Details

`&fakeguests=N` creates simulated guest videos, based on the value passed to the parameter, using real-guests where possible. The default value is 4.

You can use this feature to help position and visualize what [`&cover`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/cover.md), [`&portrait`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/and-portrait.md), etc. looks like.

This doesn't yet support labels or layouts really, but I welcome feedback. Currently I just threw up a video of me, 16:9, of 500-kbps.

You don't actually need to create a room / scene to play with it.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/and-fakeguests.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
