View link not showing a guest

Why a ?view link shows nothing or the wrong thing

Common causes and quick fixes when ?view= shows nothing or the wrong feed.

  • Incorrect ID: ?view= expects one or more stream IDs, not slot numbers. Example: ?view=ABC123 not ?view=0.

  • Get IDs: In Director, copy the guest’s stream ID from the guest tile menu; then use it in ?view=.

  • In rooms, use ?scene&room=MyRoom to render the scene, or ?scene&room=MyRoom&view=ID1,ID2 to pull specific streams in a room

  • Push vs view: Don’t paste a ?push= link into OBS. Replace ?push= with ?view= when capturing in OBS.

  • Empty view: ?view with no value disables playback. Provide at least one valid ID.
