# Resolution and Format

Resolution and Format settings create video output rules for individual applications. Use these rules to meet an application's compatibility or quality requirements.

|| Changes require you to reconnect VCam in the affected application. Some applications may also ignore custom rules.

### Add an application rule

2. Select a resolution.
3. Select a video format.
4. Select **Add new**.

Configured applications appear above the controls. Select the minus icon beside an application to remove its rule.

### Available resolutions

### Available formats
