Value	Description

Details

This option replaces the default waiting spinner with a built-in "No Signal" pattern when a &view or &scene link has no active video content.

Examples:

https://vdo.ninja/?view=streamid&nosignal

https://vdo.ninja/?view=streamid&nosignalpattern=2

https://vdo.ninja/?scene&room=example&nosignalpattern=3

The default behavior is unchanged unless this parameter is added. The pattern can also reappear after all incoming video connections end, which makes it useful for live-streaming outputs where an empty scene should show a clear standby image instead of a spinner or blank view.

If &waitimage is also set, the custom wait image takes priority over &nosignalpattern.

You can still use &waittimeout if you want to delay when the no-signal pattern appears.
