# Screen-share Parameters

Screen-share Parameters are separated in [general options](#general-options), [source side](#source-side-options) (push) options and [viewer side](#viewer-side-options) (view) options.

## General options

You can add them to both, source ([`&push`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/push)) and viewer ([`&view`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/view) or [`&scene`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/scene)) sides.

## Source side options
