# canGroupWithCurrentlyActivatedDevices

Indicates whether this device can be grouped with devices that are currently activated.

```
let canGroupWithCurrentlyActivatedDevices: Bool
```

## Discussion

When `true`, this device supports being added to a group with other devices via
[`activateDevice(_:session:for:)`](/documentation/MediaDevice/MediaDeviceExtension/activateDevice(_:session:for:))

When `false`, the device must be activated independently and cannot join ongoing
playback sessions on other devices.
