# surround

An arrangement where the participants sit around the content.

## Declaration

```swift
static let surround: SpatialTemplatePreference
```

## Discussion

Discussion This arrangement works best when the content is 3D, because each participant views it from a different angle For example:          A

B   App   D

C important: This preference will only apply if your app is using a shared volume or an immersive space with no shared window. If this preference is applied in an unsupported scenario, like when an app is sharing a window, the system will behave as if the none preference was selected.
