# UIVideoAtPathIsCompatibleWithSavedPhotosAlbum(_:)

Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the specified video is compatible to save to the user’s Camera Roll album.

## Declaration

```swift
func UIVideoAtPathIsCompatibleWithSavedPhotosAlbum(_ videoPath: String) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `videoPath`: The filesystem path to the movie file you want to save.

## Return Value

Return Value true if the video can be saved to the Camera Roll album or false if it cannot.

## Discussion

Discussion Not all devices are able to play video files placed in the user’s Camera Roll album. Before attempting to save a video, call this function and check its return value to ensure that saving the video is supported for the current device. For a code example, refer to Camera Programming Topics for iOS. When used on an iOS device without a camera, this method indicates whether the specified movie can be saved to the Saved Photos album rather than to the Camera Roll album.
