* `&id`

## Options

Example: `&push=StreamID`

<table><thead><tr><th width="186">Value</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>(no value given)</td><td>creates a randomly generated stream ID</td></tr><tr><td>(string)</td><td>1 to 64-characters long. Non-alphanumeric characters are sanitized to <code>_</code>; case sensitive.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Details

`&push` is the parameter that tells VDO.Ninja to be a publisher.

<https://vdo.ninja/?push=streamid>\
<https://vdo.ninja/?view=streamid>

If the parameter is not provided, a randomly generated stream ID will be used instead.\
<https://vdo.ninja/?push>

This is a useful parameter if you wish to reuse an invite link or if you refresh the page often.\
The value can be up to 64-characters long and is case sensitive.\
If left empty, the stream ID will default to a random one.

{% hint style="info" %}
If the stream ID is already in active use, an error will be shown and the stream will not publish.
{% endhint %}

If using a [`&room`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/room.md) URL and not using [`&scene`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/scene.md) or [`&solo`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/and-solo.md), VDO.Ninja will automatically generate a `&push` ID.
