## Discussion

Discussion Use this property to determine when to show or animate a player layer into view. You can display a player layer while this property value is false, but the layer doesn’t present any content until the value becomes true. This property remains false for a player when its currentItem contains no enabled video tracks. This property is key-value observable.
