+- Added `camera_out_send_settings` to `DailyParams`. This dict is passed verbatim to the Daily client's camera publishing settings, allowing applications to fully control encoding, codec, bitrate, and framerate.
+
+  ```python
+  params = DailyParams(
+      camera_out_send_settings={
+          "maxQuality": "high",
+          "encodings": {
+              "high": {"maxBitrate": 2_000_000, "maxFramerate": 30}
+          },
+      },
+  )
