# Output Locks

Output destinations can be locked in a Blackmagic Design Videohub video router. An output can be:

* Unlocked
* Locked by owner
* Locked by other

Owner is defined as the current client connected to the Videohub.&#x20;

To unlock an output that was locked by another, you have to force unlock the output.

To force unlock an input from this screen, double-tap or double-click on the lock icon. Otherwise, a single tap or click will lock and unlock an output.

You can press `Command-Shift-L` to go to the Output Locks section when connected to a video router.
