# `menu` Configures how the card menu behaves. ```yaml menu: # [...] ``` | Option | Default | Description | | ------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `alignment` | `left` | Whether to align the menu buttons to the `left`, `right`, `top` or `bottom` of the menu. Some selections may have no effect depending on the value of `position` (e.g. it doesn't make sense to `left` align icons on a menu with `position` to the `left`). | | `auto_hide` | `[call, casting]` | The conditions under which the menu auto-hides. A list of zero or more of `call` (a [two-way audio](../usage/2-way-audio.md) call is active) and `casting` (the card is being cast, e.g. to a Chromecast). Set to `[]` to disable. | | `button_size` | `40` | The size of the menu buttons in pixels. Must be >= `20`. | | `buttons` | | Whether to show or hide built-in buttons. See [`buttons`](#buttons). | | `position` | `top` | Whether to show the menu on the `left`, `right`, `top` or `bottom` side of the card. Note that for the `outside` style only the `top` and `bottom` positions have an effect. | | `style` | `hidden` | The menu style to show by default, one of `none`, `hidden`, `hover`, `hover-card`, `overlay`, or `outside`. See [`style`](#style). | ## `buttons` ```yaml menu: buttons: [button]: # [...] ``` ### Available Buttons | Button name | Description | | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `call` | The `call` menu button: starts a [two-way audio](../usage/2-way-audio.md) call, answers an inbound (ringing) call (hold to reject it instead), and ends an active call. | | `camera_ui` | The `camera_ui` menu button: brings the user to a context-appropriate page on the UI of their camera engine (e.g. the Frigate camera homepage). Will only appear if the camera engine supports a camera UI (e.g. if `frigate.url` option is set for `frigate` engine users). | | `cameras` | The camera selection submenu. Will only appear if multiple cameras are configured. | | `clips` | The `clips` view menu button: brings the user to the `clips` view on tap and the most-recent `clip` view on hold. | | `display_mode` | The `display_mode` button allows changing between single and grid views. | | `download` | The `download` menu button: allow direct download of the media being displayed. | | `expand` | The `expand` menu button: expand the card into a popup/dialog. | | `folders` | The `folders` menu button: brings the user to a [gallery](./media-gallery.md) of folders on tap and to the media viewer with media from the folder on hold. Will only appear if [`folders`](./folders.md) are configured. | | `fullscreen` | The `fullscreen` menu button: expand the card to consume the fullscreen. Please note that fullscreen behavior on iPhone is limited, see [troubleshooting](../troubleshooting.md?id=fullscreen-doesn39t-work-on-iphone). | | `gallery` | The `gallery` view menu button: brings the user to the `gallery` view of the camera's default media type. | | `image` | The `image` view menu button: brings the user to the static `image` view. | | `info` | The `info` menu button: show media metadata (e.g. event time, camera, description). | | `iris` | The main Advanced Camera Card `iris` menu button: brings the user to the default configured view (`view.default`), or collapses/expands the menu if the `menu.style` is `hidden` . | | `live` | The `live` view menu button: brings the user to the `live` view. | | `media_player` | The `media_player` menu button: sends the visible media to a remote media player. Supports Frigate clips, snapshots and live camera (only for cameras that specify a `camera_entity` and only using the default HA stream (equivalent to the `ha` live provider)). `jsmpeg` or `webrtc-card` are not supported, although live can still be played as long as `camera_entity` is specified. In the player list, a `tap` will send the media to the player, a `hold` will stop the media on the player. | | `microphone` | The `microphone` button mutes/unmutes the microphone. It is only shown during an active call, since the microphone only transmits while a call is in progress. See [Using 2-way audio](../usage/2-way-audio.md). | | `mute` | The `mute` button: toggles the mute state of the selected media. | | `pip` | The `pip` menu button: enter Picture-in-Picture mode. Floats the video element as a native browser overlay. | | `play` | The `play` button: toggles the play/pause state of the selected media. | | `ptz_controls` | The `ptz_controls` button shows or hides the PTZ controls. | | `ptz_home` | The `ptz_home` button allows easily returning the camera to default home position. | | `recordings` | The `recordings` view menu button: brings the user to the `recordings` view on tap and the most-recent `recording` view on hold. | | `reviews` | The `reviews` view menu button: brings the user to the `reviews` view on tap and the most-recent `review` view on hold. | | `screenshot` | The `screenshot` menu button: take a screenshot of the loaded media (e.g. a still from a video). | | `set_review` | The `set_review` button: toggle the review status of the media being displayed (e.g. mark it as reviewed or unreviewed). | | `snapshots` | The `snapshots` view menu button: brings the user to the `snapshots` view on tap and the most-recent `snapshot` view on hold. | | `timeline` | The `timeline` menu button: show the event timeline. | ### Options for each button | Option | Default | Description | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `alignment` | `matching` | Whether this menu item should have an alignment that is `matching` the menu alignment or `opposing` the menu alignment. Can be used to create two separate groups of buttons on the menu. The `priority` option orders buttons within a given `alignment`. | | `enabled` | `true` for `call`, `camera_ui`, `cameras`, `display_mode`, `download`, `folders`, `fullscreen`, `gallery`, `info`, `iris`, `live`, `media_player`, `set_review`, `substreams` and `timeline`. `false` for `clips`, `expand`, `image`, `microphone`, `mute`, `pip`, `play`, `ptz_controls`, `ptz_home`, `recordings`, `reviews`, `screenshot` and `snapshots`. | Whether or not to show the button. | | `icon` | | An icon to overriding the default for that button, e.g. `mdi:camera-front`. See also [custom icons](../usage/custom-icons.md). | | `inert` | `false` | If `true` the button is shown but rendered as inert (grayed out, non-interactive). Differs from `enabled: false`, which removes the button entirely. | | `permanent` | `false` | If `false` the menu item is hidden when the menu has the `hidden` style and the menu is closed, otherwise it is shown (and sorted to the front). | | `priority` | `50` | The menu item priority. Higher priority items are ordered closer to the start of the menu alignment (i.e. a button with priority `70` will order further to the left than a button with priority `60`). Priority applies separately to `matching` and `opposing` groups (see `alignment` above). Minimum `0`, maximum `100`. | | `state_color` | `true` | Whether to colorize the button based on the state of a related entity (where applicable). | ### Additional options: `microphone` ```yaml menu: buttons: microphone: # [...] ``` | Option | Default | Description | | ------ | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `type` | `momentary` | When `momentary` the button must be continually held down to talk, when `toggle` pressing the button will enable the microphone and it must be pressed again to disable it. | ## `style` This card supports several menu styles. | Key | Description | Screenshot | | ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | `hidden` | Hide the menu by default. It may be toggled open as needed with the `iris` button. | ![](../images/menu-mode-hidden.png 'Menu hidden :size=400') | | `hover-card` | Overlay the menu over the card contents when the mouse is over the **card**, otherwise it is not shown. The `iris` button shows the default view. | ![](../images/menu-mode-overlay.png 'Menu hover-card :size=400') | | `hover` | Overlay the menu over the card contents when the mouse is over the **menu**, otherwise it is not shown.

The `iris` button shows the default view. | ![](../images/menu-mode-above.png 'Menu outside :size=400') | | `overlay` | Overlay the menu over the card contents. The `iris` button shows the default view. | ![](../images/menu-mode-overlay.png 'Menu hidden :size=400') | ## Fully expanded reference [](common/expanded-warning.md ':include') ```yaml menu: alignment: left auto_hide: - call - casting buttons: call: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:phone camera_ui: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:web cameras: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:video-switch clips: priority: 50 enabled: false inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:filmstrip display_mode: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:grid download: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:download expand: priority: 50 enabled: false inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:arrow-expand-all folders: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:folder-multiple fullscreen: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:fullscreen gallery: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:play-box-multiple image: priority: 50 enabled: false inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:image info: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:information-outline iris: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: advanced-camera-card:iris live: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:cctv media_player: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:cast microphone: priority: 50 enabled: false inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:microphone type: momentary mute: priority: 50 enabled: false inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:volume-off pip: priority: 50 enabled: false inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:picture-in-picture-bottom-right play: priority: 50 enabled: false inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:play ptz_controls: priority: 50 enabled: false inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:pan ptz_home: priority: 50 enabled: false inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:home recordings: priority: 50 enabled: false inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:album reviews: priority: 50 enabled: false inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:play-box-edit-outline screenshot: priority: 50 enabled: false inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:monitor-screenshot set_review: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:check-circle snapshots: priority: 50 enabled: false inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:camera substreams: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:video-input-component timeline: priority: 50 enabled: true inert: false alignment: matching icon: mdi:chart-gantt button_size: 40 position: top style: hidden ```
