# seat(position:direction:role:) Creates a seat element with the specified position, direction, and role information. ``` static func seat(position: SpatialTemplateElementPosition, direction: SpatialTemplateElementDirection = .lookingAt(.app), role: (any SpatialTemplateRole)? = nil) -> Self ``` ## Parameters `position` The position of this seat in the shared coordinate space. Place seats relative to your app’s content, which is at the origin of the coordinate space. `direction` The initial direction for the participant to face. Specify a value to point the person in the direction of another participant or a specific location in the coordinate space. If you don’t specify this parameter, the participant faces the app’s content. `role` The custom role you assign to the seat. Roles are optional but a way to make participant-specific decisions during an activity. For example, you might define roles for two opposing teams in a game and use those roles to place the participants relative to the game content. ## Return Value An initialized seat element for you to add to a custom spatial template. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
