## Discussion

Discussion Use this property to detect when the current person starts or stops displaying their spatial Persona. The following example shows how to set up a task to monitor the sequence and respond to changes: Task.detached {     for await localParticipantState in systemCoordinator.localParticipantStates {          if localParticipantState.isSpatial {               // Handle changes to the state.          }     } }
