# addOutputWithNoConnections(_:)

Adds a capture output to the session without forming any connections.

## Declaration

```swift
func addOutputWithNoConnections(_ output: AVCaptureOutput)
```

## Parameters

- `output`: The capture output to add to the session.

## Discussion

Discussion You can call this method while the session is running. In most cases, use the addOutput(_:) method to add new outputs to a session. Call this method if you require fine-grained control over which inputs connect to which outputs.
