# \&autorecover

General Option! ([`&push`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/push.md), [`&room`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/room.md), [`&view`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/view.md), [`&scene`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/scene.md), [`&director`](/advanced-settings/director-parameters/director.md))

## Options

Examples:

* `&autorecover`
* `&autorecover=1`
* `&autorecover=0`

| Value                     | Description             |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| `1`, `true`, `on`, `yes`  | Enable recovery bundle  |
| `0`, `false`, `off`, `no` | Disable recovery bundle |

## What it toggles

When enabled, this currently enables:

* `autoRelay` behavior (equivalent to using [`&autorelay`](/advanced-settings/turn-and-stun-parameters/and-autorelay.md))
* Adaptive disconnect timing
* Automatic WHEP fallback signaling where WHIP/WHEP settings are available

When disabled (`&autorecover=0`), those recovery assists are turned off.

## Details

* Intended for links where guests may roam networks or experience intermittent P2P failures.
* Best used with [`&p2pfailtimeout`](/advanced-settings/settings-parameters/and-p2pfailtimeout.md) and [`&peerrecoversteps`](/advanced-settings/settings-parameters/and-peerrecoversteps.md) to tune aggressiveness.
* Keeps default behavior unchanged unless explicitly enabled.

## Usage examples

* Conservative: `?room=show123&autorecover=1&p2pfailtimeout=12000&peerrecoversteps=3`
* Aggressive: `?room=show123&autorecover=1&p2pfailtimeout=6000&peerrecoversteps=5`
