# Camera Component Parameters

Parameters that are **only consumed by the standalone Camera component** (`createCameraComponent` / `IntegrationOption.CAMERA`, route `/camera`). Passing them to any other integration option has no effect. For the full Camera component guide — including events and control commands — see [Camera Component](/docs/integration/camera-component).

| Parameter | Type | Default | What it does internally |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------------------|
| exercises | string[] | — | The allowlist of exercise models to download at launch. Only exercises in this list (plus any added later via `load_models`) can be activated with `currentExercise` — switching to an unlisted exercise posts `error_occurred` |
| currentExercise | string | — | The active exercise. Can be updated at runtime (postMessage / `changeExercise` / `updateCurrentExercise`) to switch tracking instantly. Also accepts control commands (`"Pause Exercise"`, `"Pause Audio"`, `"Resume Audio"`, `"Workout Overview"`, `"Stop Camera"`) |
| exerciseFetchType | string | "model_id" | How the backend should interpret each value in `exercises` (and in `load_models` requests): `"model_id"`, `"exercise_id"`, or `"exercise_title"`. Invalid values silently fall back to the backend default |
| restSpeeches | string[] | — | Speech audio IDs (from the exercise's `rest_speech` field) to pre-download so they can be played instantly later |
| currentRestSpeech | string | — | Plays the given pre-loaded speech ID immediately. Send the special value `"Stop audio"` to stop playback. Update it at runtime the same way as `currentExercise` |

**Loading more exercises at runtime:** send the `load_models` action (`{ workout_activity_action: "load_models", exercises: [...], exerciseFetchType?: "..." }`) to fetch and cache additional models mid-session without re-mounting. The SDK replies with `models_loaded` (listing the IDs that resolved) and `speech_fetch_complete`; failures arrive as `error_occurred`. Successfully loaded IDs are automatically added to the `exercises` allowlist so `currentExercise` can switch to them.

**Related parameters that also work here:** `videoURL` ([Testing & Simulation](/docs/customization-parameters/testing-simulation)), `includePoseData`, `includeRealtimeAccuracy`, `landmarkColor`, `showSilhouette`, `videoFit` ([Camera & Pose Detection](/docs/customization-parameters/camera-pose-detection)).
