# \&totalbitrate

Viewer-Side Option! ([`&scene`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/scene), [`&room`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/room), [`&view`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/view), [`&solo`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/and-solo))

## Details

`&totalbitrate` sets both [`&totalscenebitrate`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-bitrate-parameters/and-totalscenebitrate) and [`&totalroombitrate`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-bitrate-parameters/totalroombitrate) flags. Not quite sure how well it will work, but since a scene and a guest are exclusive possibilities, it's a bit of a flexible way to just learn one flag to do it all, as I realize all the options can get confusing.

[`&totalscenebitrate`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-bitrate-parameters/and-totalscenebitrate) and [`&totalroombitrate`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-bitrate-parameters/totalroombitrate) limit the total incoming bitrate, dividing up the bandwidth available to each video being played back. There are nuances in differences, with the main one being [`&totalroombitrate`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-bitrate-parameters/totalroombitrate) is for a guest link and [`&totalscenebitrate`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-bitrate-parameters/and-totalscenebitrate) is for a scene/view link.
