`&aspectratio` changes the aspect ratio on the publisher side. Floating point value; 1.777777 is common; not supported by all browsers.

You can also change the aspect ratio via the video settings menu.![](/files/Lr1etvX16XCCiLI41O6M)

If using `&aspectratio`, it will keep the [height](/advanced-settings/video-parameters/and-height.md) constant, and vary width, unless [`&width`](/advanced-settings/video-parameters/and-width.md) is set, which will then be the fixed constant.

### Screen-share

`&aspectratio` works with screen-shares, so you can force crop an incoming screen-share to be a certain aspect ratio. If [`&screenshareaspectratio`](/advanced-settings/screen-share-parameters/and-screenshareaspectratio.md) is used it will apply to just screen-shares. If [`&screenshareaspectratio`](/advanced-settings/screen-share-parameters/and-screenshareaspectratio.md) does not have a value passed, it's assumed to be set as "default", which overrides `&aspectratio` option, if used also.
