# setParticipantLimit(_:forWaitingOutSuspensionsWithReason:)

Sets a limit on the number of partipants that a group may contain before the coordinator stops waiting on suspensions that occur for a particular reason.

## Declaration

```swift
func setParticipantLimit(_ participantLimit: Int, forWaitingOutSuspensionsWithReason reason: AVCoordinatedPlaybackSuspension.Reason)
```

## Parameters

- `participantLimit`: The number of participants.
- `reason`: The suspension reason to set a limit for.

## Discussion

Discussion This method provides additional configuration of the values your app sets for the suspensionReasonsThatTriggerWaiting property. When a coordinator decides whether one participant’s suspensions cause others to wait, it also considers any participant limits that you set on the group.
