# VZVirtualMachineView

A view that allows user interaction with a VM.

## Declaration

```swift
class VZVirtualMachineView
```

## Overview

Overview The VZVirtualMachineView is a UI element that shows the contents of the VM frame buffer that you can optionally configure to respond to changes in the host’s display settings. If the VM configuration includes a keyboard and a pointing device, the view forwards keyboard and mouse events to the VM through those devices. For a Sendable wrapper that connects a virtual machine view to a virtual machine, see VZVirtualMachineViewAdaptor.
