# \&consent

Will ask the user for content to remote change their camera or microphone

Sender-Side Option! ([`&push`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/push.md))

## Details

Adding to the guest's invite link will either alert the guest or seek permission of the guest to remotely change their camera or mic without further approval.

For privacy reasons, without this flag a director of a room will need to have the guest approve a remote camera or microphone change. With this flag added however, the consent to do so will be obtained on the initial connection, allowing the director to change cameras or mics of the guest without blockers.

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

Added "change URL" permissions to the `&consent` flag. That is, when using `&consent` on the guest URL, the director can remotely change the guest's URL without additional permission -- it will just change.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/settings-parameters/consent.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
