# \&viewheight

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

## Aliases

* `&vh`

## Options

Example: `&viewheight=1080`

| Value           | Description            |
| --------------- | ---------------------- |
| (value integer) | video height in pixels |

## Details

Added new viewer-side parameters that can be used in place of [`&scale`](/advanced-settings/video-parameters/scale.md): `&viewheight=180` and [`&viewwidth=320`](/advanced-settings/video-parameters/and-viewwidth.md), which effectively does the same thing as [`&scale`](/advanced-settings/video-parameters/scale.md), but instead you pass a resolution.

It's important to note, that due to flexibility to request width/heights that are not aspect-ratio compatible, and due to bitrate/quality resolution limitations, these values are just 'max' target resolution values; the actual resolution you get could be still less. They also do not impact the actual capture resolution of the remote sender's camera, so its purely for requesting a specific downscaled resolution. This command applies to all video elements in a view port, and it disables the auto-scaler functionality.

Similarly, also added the option to the IFRAME API to request different down-scaled resolutions dynamically, per connection, if you want greater programmatic control vs static URL options.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-parameters/and-viewheight.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
