# AVMediaPresentationSetting

For content that has been authored with the express intent of offering an alternative selection interface for AVMediaSelectionOptions, AVMediaPresentationSetting represents a selectable setting for controlling the presentation of the media.

```
class AVMediaPresentationSetting
```

## Overview

Each selectable setting is associated with a media characteristic that one or more of the AVMediaSelectionOptions in the AVMediaSelectionGroup possesses. By selecting a setting in a user interface that offers AVMediaPresentationSettings, users are essentially indicating a preference for the media characteristic of the selected setting. Subclasses of this type that are used from Swift must fulfill the requirements of a Sendable type.

## Topics
