# mediaPlay()

Tells you to begin playback of your media content.

## Declaration

```swift
optional func mediaPlay()
```

## Mentioned in

Customizing the Appearance of Notifications

## Discussion

Discussion Don’t call this method yourself. If you implement the mediaPlayPauseButtonFrame property in your view controller, the system calls this method when the user wants to begin playback of your media. Use your implementation of this method to initiate playback.
