# \&roomtier2bitrate

Sets the automatic room-only bitrate tier for normal and stronger devices

Room Option! ([`&room`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/room.md))

## Aliases

* `&rt2b`
* `&roomonlybitrate`
* `&rob`

## Options

Example: `&roomtier2bitrate=2000`

| Value                  | Description                                                             |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| positive integer value | total room-only bitrate budget, in kbps, for normal or stronger devices |

## Details

`&roomtier2bitrate` changes the higher automatic room-only bitrate tier.

The default is `2000`-kbps.

This value is used for normal or stronger devices in guest-only room calls. It is a total room budget, not a per-stream bitrate. If the guest is watching three visible videos and the tier is `2000`, each video is requested at about `666`-kbps.

If you set [`&totalroombitrate`](/advanced-settings/video-bitrate-parameters/and-totalscenebitrate/totalroombitrate.md), that explicit value takes priority over automatic room-only tiering.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Higher values can improve video quality, but they also increase outbound load for every sender in the mesh room. Test carefully with mobile guests.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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/video-bitrate-parameters/and-totalscenebitrate/roomtier2bitrate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_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.
