# activeVideoStabilizationMode

The connection’s current stabilization mode.

## Declaration

```swift
var activeVideoStabilizationMode: AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The property only applies to a video connection, and it explicitly indicates whether it’s using stabilization, which means the value is never AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode.auto. note: Devices with a video stabilization feature may only support a subset of available source formats. You can monitor this property to detect when the connection applies video stabilization to its video data with key-value observation. See NSKeyValueObserving and Using Key-Value Observing in Swift for more information.
