A Boolean value that indicates whether the screen recorder is available for recording.

```
var isAvailable: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

When set to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, the screen recorder is available for recording. Screen recording can be unavailable due to unsupported hardware, the user’s device displaying information over Airplay or through a TVOut session, or another app using the recorder.
