&viewslot
Enables viewing a specific slot from a scene link when the director is using &slotmode
The &viewslot parameter enables viewing a specific slot from a scene link when the director is using &slotmode. This creates a single-video view of whatever is assigned to that slot number.
Usage
Basic syntax for viewing a specific slot:
/?scene&viewslot=1&room=ROOMNAME
Key Features
The &viewslot parameter provides single-video viewing of slot assignments with these characteristics:
Only shows content from the specified slot number
Automatically updates when new guests join and are assigned slots
Dynamically updates when directors change slot assignments
Optimizes performance by only loading the visible video stream
Disables layouts and auto-mixing functionality
Requires director to be using
&slotmode
Auto-Update Behavior
Scene links using &viewslot automatically receive slot assignment updates whenever:
A new guest joins and is assigned to the specified slot
The director manually reassigns slots
A guest disconnects, freeing their slot
This means you don't need to refresh the scene link when guests join or leave.
