# toMinimizeStalls

The player is waiting for appropriate playback conditions before starting playback.

## Declaration

```swift
static let toMinimizeStalls: AVPlayer.WaitingReason
```

## Discussion

Discussion Playback continues at the specified rate when conditions allow playback to begin without stalling. Playback also continues if the player item’s playback buffer is full and no further buffering of media data is possible.
