## Details

Target video bitrate for outgoing video streams (sender-side default).

`&outboundvideobitrate` sets the default target for viewers that do not specify [`&videobitrate`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-bitrate-parameters/bitrate). If the viewer uses `&videobitrate`, their request overrides this default. A sender-side [`&maxvideobitrate`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-bitrate-parameters/and-maxvideobitrate) still caps the maximum bitrate, regardless of viewer request.

In some cases, `&outboundvideobitrate` is applied via SDP munging, so it can also act as a maximum cap depending on browser/negotiation.

It won't override the room's total bitrate parameter, as that's a dynamically set bitrate, so **to get higher bitrate in group rooms you still need to use** [`&totalroombitrate`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-bitrate-parameters/totalroombitrate).
