# View link not showing a guest

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.

## 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, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.vdo.ninja/common-errors-and-known-issues/view-link-not-showing-guest.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
