# \&safemode

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

## Details

Adding `&safemode` to a source/guest link currently just tries to load the camera/audio with as little possible complexity as possible. For cameras that just 'flash' their video preview for a second, but won't work beyond that when setting things up, this might be a solution there.

This has the guest's camera start in a rather basic fashion, which might help solve problems with certain camera not being able to use VDO.Ninja.

It's available under director's customization options as well, under "Compatibility mode".

There is a toggle in the director's room which adds `&safemode` to the guest's invite link.\
