# \&smallshare

Sender-Side Option! ([`&push`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/push.md))\
Viewer-Side Option! ([`&scene`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/scene.md), [`&room`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/room.md), [`&solo`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/and-solo.md)) \*on alpha

## Details

`&smallshare` makes the screen share behave like a webcam share. ie: not larger in size vs other windows, for the publisher or the viewers. This is a push-side parameter. This is useful if a VR guests screen sharing an app of themselves, versus using a virtual camera. It can also be useful for gaming, where a larger screen share might bog down the system of the sender more than needed.

Layout if using `&smallshare`:\
![](/files/Fmkp23jU3E6320s83sqa)

Layout if NOT using `&smallshare`:\
![](/files/jmorU7sq3muuQiuec3Go)

### Update on [v23](/releases/v23.md)

`&smallshare` will work on the scene-side now also, which disables the automixer's larger screen-share layout, and instead just uses an equal-sized video layout for all videos.
