# \&fileshare
Allows the user to select a video or audio file as a source for streaming
Sender-Side Option! ([`&push`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/push.md))
## Aliases
* `&fs`
## Details
Adding `&fileshare` to a URL allows the user to select a video or audio file as a source for streaming.
For downloadable files, use [VDO.Ninja Drop](/steves-helper-apps/vdo-ninja-drop.md) at [vdo.ninja/drop](https://vdo.ninja/drop). It provides a dedicated file sharing page with download links and QR codes for sending files to another device.
The stream can be paused and scrubbed like a normal video/audio file. It will auto-loop when it ends.
Supports audio-only files as well as common video formats. Depends on your browser. If you mute the video, it will mute the video for all the viewers as well. It is extremely simple in functionality and is only available when the URL is used. The resolution used will be limited by the video's native resolution.
{% hint style="warning" %}
The video will be **transcoded for each** connected **guest**!

## 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/setup-parameters/and-fileshare.md?ask=&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.
