# Roll Up Configuration Page

## Roll-up style delivery of captions to the page.

### Route

- The prefix for the route will be `u-` followed by the event’s URL.
- `/u-{event-url}/{lang-code}` is available for events with languages enabled. The appropriate language direction will be used for languages that require it. LTR or RTL.

### Configurable Parameters

Append configurable parameters, detailed below, to the URL. You can include one or several parameters to the URL.

- [https://live.syncwords.com/u-ABCdef?reading\_rate=1.5](https://live.syncwords.com/u-demo?reading_rate=1.5)
- [https://live.syncwords.com/u-ABCdef?reading\_rate=1.5&clear\_wait\_time=3&lines=2](https://live.syncwords.com/u-demo?reading_rate=1.5&clear_wait_time=3&lines=2)
- [https://live.syncwords.com/u-ABCdef?text\_color=ffffff&line\_color=000000&bg\_color=04f404&gap=false&typing\_enabled=false](https://live.syncwords.com/u-demo?text_color=ffffff&line_color=000000&bg_color=04f404&gap=false&typing_enabled=false)
- [https://live.syncwords.com/u-ABCdef/fr?text\_color=ffffff&line\_color=000000&bg\_color=04f404&gap=false](https://live.syncwords.com/u-demo?text_color=ffffff&line_color=000000&bg_color=04f404&gap=false) - add the language code for the translated language you want to display

### Configurable Settings

The below settings can be added to the URL as parameters:

| **Name** | **Default** | **Description** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [reading\_rate](https://help.syncwords.com/live/roll-up-configuration-page#Reading-Rate) | 1.2 | Max duration, in seconds, that a line is displayed before the next line appears. [https://live.syncwords.com/u-ABCdef?reading\_rate=1.5](https://live.syncwords.com/u-demo?reading_rate=1.5) **Minimum value is 1. Maximum value is 2.** *We recommend limiting this value to 1.5 to prevent a growing lag between the roll-up display and captions being received.* |
| clear\_wait\_time | 4 | Time before a line is cleared in the roll-up display. It is a multiple of the reading rate. For example, ‘reading rate’ of 1.5 with a clear wait time’ of 2 will wait 3 seconds before clearing a line in the roll-up display. [https://live.syncwords.com/u-ABCdef?clear\_wait\_time=2](https://live.syncwords.com/u-demo?clear_wait_time=2) **The minimum value is 1. The maximum value is 4.** |

| bold | false | Toggles bold fonts.  **NOTE: PT Mono (3) does not have a bold option.** [https://live.syncwords.com/u-ABCdef?bold=true](https://live.syncwords.com/u-demo?bold=true) **Value: true** |
