# getSendSettings()

> Returns the current media send settings, or null if none have been set.

`getSendSettings()`

Returns the current `DailySendSettings` object, or `null` if [`updateSendSettings()`](/reference/react-native/instance-methods/update-send-settings) has never been called and no call has been joined.

This method is synchronous — it does not return a Promise.

## Return value

Returns `DailySendSettings | null`.

See [`updateSendSettings()`](/reference/react-native/instance-methods/update-send-settings) for a full explanation of the `DailySendSettings` structure.

## Example

```javascript theme={null}
const settings = call.getSendSettings();

if (settings?.video?.maxQuality === 'low') {
  console.log('Video quality is currently limited to low');
}
```
