# \&fakeguests

Viewer-Side Option! ([`&view`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/view), [`&scene`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/scene), [`&room`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/room))

## 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`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/cover), [`&portrait`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/and-portrait), 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.
