# CPAssistantCellActionType.playMedia

Provides an action that uses Siri to prompt the user for media playback.

## Declaration

```swift
case playMedia
```

## Discussion

Discussion note: This action is only available in audio apps that include an Intents Extension capable of handling INSearchCallHistoryIntent. For more information, see Creating an Intents App Extension. The system provides the user’s response to your app’s Intents Extension. Your app must respond by searching for the requested media and, if it’s available, start its playback and display a CPNowPlayingTemplate.
