# selectedSpeed

The currently selected playback speed.

## Declaration

```swift
var selectedSpeed: AVPlaybackSpeed? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This value reflects the associated player’s defaultRate property value. If you set the defaultRate to a value that doesn’t match a speed contained in the speeds property, the system sets this value to nil.
