# seekBackwardCommand

The command object for seeking backward through a single media item.

```
var seekBackwardCommand: MPRemoteCommand { get }
```

## Discussion

Use the object in this property to register your app’s handler for seeking backward in the current track. In your handler, begin seeking backward through the current media item. You can disable the command if your app does not support it.
