# \&whepshare

Sender-Side Option! ([`&push`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/push.md))

## Aliases

* `&whepsrc`

## Options

Example:

`&whepshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwhep.example.com%2Fpath` or prompt without a value

| Value | Description                   |
| ----- | ----------------------------- |
| URL   | WHEP source endpoint to share |

## Details

* Instead of sending your local camera/mic, instructs viewers to fetch and play the specified WHEP endpoint as your published media.
* Use with [`&whepsharetoken`](/advanced-settings/whip-parameters/and-whepsharetoken.md) if the WHEP source requires a bearer token.
* If no value is provided, you’ll be prompted to enter the WHEP URL on join.
* WHEP URLs must be `https://`, except `http://localhost` for local testing.
* If the URL is invalid, it is ignored and a warning is shown.
* In non-clean layouts, a small WHEP status card appears with copy/open actions and can be dismissed.
* Use with `&dataonly` when you want to advertise an external WHEP feed without publishing local camera/mic.
* `&nowhep` / `&nomeshcast` disables advertising the WHEP URL to peers.
* Use [`&autowhep`](/advanced-settings/whip-parameters/and-autowhep.md) when you want VDO.Ninja to try deriving this WHEP URL from a configured WHIP output URL.
