# nowPlayingButtons

The Now Playing template’s playback control buttons.

```
var nowPlayingButtons: [CPNowPlayingButton] { get }
```

## Discussion

You use the [`updateNowPlayingButtons(_:)`](/documentation/CarPlay/CPNowPlayingTemplate/updateNowPlayingButtons(_:)) method to provide a maximum of five playback control buttons. The template arranges the buttons using the array’s order, from the leading edge of the CarPlay screen to the trailing edge.
