# \&autorecordremote

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

## Options

Example: `&autorecordremote=1500`

<table><thead><tr><th width="190">Value</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>0</code></td><td>No video recorded; audio tentatively recorded as 32bit PCM lossless.</td></tr><tr><td>(negative integer)</td><td>No video recorded; audio recorded as {integer} kbps OPUS file. Eg: <code>-120</code> - Audio only at 120 kbps.</td></tr><tr><td>(positive integer)</td><td>Recorded video bitrate in kbps.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Details

`&autorecordremote` will record the remote video(s) automatically on their initial load. This applies to the director, guest, scenes, and whatever really.

You can stop/restart recordings as needed via the right-click menu per each video for now, until I can design a nicer UI for managing multi-recording state at least.

You can pass the default recording bitrate as a value to the parameter, like you might if using [`&record`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/recording-parameters/and-record).

### Update in [v23](https://docs.vdo.ninja/releases/v23)

There are buttons in the room settings of the director to start/stop *all* recordings; both remote/local.
