# DDDevice.Category

An option that determines the icon for the device in the picker UI.

## Declaration

```swift
enum Category
```

## Overview

Overview The device (DDDevice) category property is of this type. Each value in this enumeration determines a different icon that the picker UI (AVRoutePickerView) displays, which helps the user visually confirm that their selection corresponds to the device they intend to stream media to.
