# playbackCoordinator(_:didIssue:completionHandler:)

Tells the delegate to match the playback rate to that of the group when the rate is nonzero.

```
func playbackCoordinator(_ coordinator: AVDelegatingPlaybackCoordinator, didIssue playCommand: AVDelegatingPlaybackCoordinatorPlayCommand, completionHandler: @escaping @Sendable () -> Void)
```

## Parameters

`coordinator`

The playback coordinator that issues the command.

`playCommand`

The command to execute. Before performing it, verify that its [`expectedCurrentItemIdentifier`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVDelegatingPlaybackCoordinatorPlaybackControlCommand/expectedCurrentItemIdentifier) property value matches the item that you’re currently playing. If the command isn’t valid for the current item, ignore it and call the completion handler.

`completionHandler`

A completion handler that your app must call when it finishes handling the command, either successfully or after beginning a suspension if it can’t handle the command currently.
