# AVSystemRoute.LaunchMode

The mode that determines how media playback launches on a remote device.

```
enum LaunchMode
```

## Overview

Use this enumeration with [`init(url:mode:)`](/documentation/AVSystemRouting/AVSystemRouteSession-gp78/init(url:mode:)) to control how
media playback is initiated on the remote device. The launch mode determines whether
your app launches its counterpart on the remote device, or uses a system-provided
media player.
