```

## Discussion

When this property is set to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, the system allows the user to continue watching your app’s video content while using other apps. If you customize playback with <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/AVKit/AVPlayerViewController>, set the controller’s <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/AVKit/AVPlayerViewController/delegate> property to an object that implements the <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/AVKit/AVPlayerViewControllerDelegate> protocol and the system will notify that object about picture-in-picture playback events.

The default value is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>.
