# AVAssetDownloadTaskMediaSelectionKey

A key that indicates which media selection to download.

```
let AVAssetDownloadTaskMediaSelectionKey: String
```

## Discussion

By default, a download task automatically retrieves all of an asset’s media selections. To download a specific media selection, provide an [`AVMediaSelection`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVMediaSelection) object for this key.
