# maxRecordedFileSize

The maximum size, in bytes, of the data that should be recorded by the receiver.

## Declaration

```swift
var maxRecordedFileSize: Int64 { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property specifies a hard limit on the data size of recorded files. Recording is stopped when the limit is reached and the fileOutput(_:didFinishRecordingTo:from:error:) delegate method is invoked with an appropriate error. The default value of this property is 0, which indicates no limit.
