# isDeferredStartSupported

A `BOOL` value that indicates whether the output supports deferred start.

```
var isDeferredStartSupported: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

You can only set the [`isDeferredStartEnabled`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureOutput/isDeferredStartEnabled) property value to `true` if the output supports deferred start.
