# isActive

This property tells you whether the configurator is actively configuring the external display.

```
var isActive: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

When this property returns `true`, the external display is successfully configured to match the device. If it returns`false`, the configurator is not making any configuration changes to the external display. If another [`AVCaptureExternalDisplayConfigurator`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureExternalDisplayConfigurator) instance takes over the configuration of the external display, this property returns `false`.
