# \&viewwidth

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))

## Aliases

## Options

Example: `&viewwidth=1920`

| Value           | Description           |

| (value integer) | video width in pixels |

## Details

Added new viewer-side parameters that can be used in place of [`&scale`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-parameters/scale): [`&viewheight=180`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-parameters/and-viewheight) and `&viewwidth=320`, which effectively does the same thing as [`&scale`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-parameters/scale), 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.
