# isRecordingPaused

Indicates whether recording to the current output file is paused.

## Declaration

```swift
var isRecordingPaused: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property indicates recording to the file returned by outputFileURL has been previously paused using the pauseRecording() method. When a recording is paused, captured samples are not written to the output file, but new samples can be written to the same file in the future by calling resumeRecording().
