[<CommonParameters>]Description
The Set-VMVideo cmdlet configures the video settings for virtual machines.
Examples
Example 1: Set resolution for a virtual machine display
PS C:\> Set-VMVideo -VMName "VM06" -HorizontalResolution 1920 -VerticalResolution 1200This command sets the video resolution for the virtual machine named VM06 to 1920x1200.
Parameters
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
| Type: | CimSession[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ComputerName
Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts that run this cmdlet. NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and fully qualified domain names are allowable. The default is the local computer. Use localhost or a dot (.) to specify the local computer explicitly.
| Type: | String[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | cf |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Credential
Specifies one or more user accounts that have permission to perform this action. The default is the current user.
| Type: | PSCredential[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-HorizontalResolution
Specifies the horizontal resolution for the virtual machine display.
| Type: | UInt16 |
| Position: | 2 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Passthru
Indicates that this cmdlet returns the Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.VMVideo object that it modifies.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ResolutionType
Specifies the resolution type for the virtual machine display. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- Maximum. The input HorizontalResolution * VerticalResolution is the maximum supported resolution. All standard resolutions smaller than HorizontalResolution * VerticalResolution are also supported.
- Single. The input HorizontalResolution * VerticalResolution is the only supported resolution.
- Default. The supported resolutions are those in the list of standard resolutions. Input HorizontalResolution * VerticalResolution is ignored.
| Type: | ResolutionType |
| Accepted values: | Maximum, Single, Default |
| Position: | 1 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-VerticalResolution
Specifies the vertical resolution for the virtual machine display.
| Type: | UInt16 |
| Position: | 3 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-VM
Specifies an array of virtual machines for which this cmdlet configures video settings. To obtain a VirtualMachine object, use the Get-VM cmdlet.
| Type: | VirtualMachine[] |
| Position: | 0 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-VMName
Specifies an array of names of virtual machines for which this cmdlet configures video settings.
| Type: | String[] |
| Position: | 0 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-VMVideo
Specifies an array of virtual machine video settings that this cmdlet configures. To obtain a VMVideo object, use the Get-VMVideo cmdlet.
| Type: | VMVideo[] |
| Position: | 0 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Outputs
Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.VMVideo
This cmdlet returns a VirtualMachine object, if you specify the Passthru parameter.
