# setIsNowPlayingCandidate(_:)

Sets a Boolean value that indicates whether the audio session is a candidate to be the Now Playing session.

## Declaration

```swift
func setIsNowPlayingCandidate(_ inValue: Bool) throws
```

## Parameters

- `inValue`: The new state to set.

## Discussion

Discussion Only a single audio session for an app can be a Now Playing candidate. Designating multiple audio sessions for the same app as Now Playing candidates results in none of them being eligible.
