# SharePlay

## Best practices

**Let people know that you support SharePlay.**

**If part of your app requires a subscription, consider ways to help nonsubscriber participants quickly join a group activity.**

**Support Picture in Picture (PiP) when possible.**

**Use the term _SharePlay_ correctly.**

## Sharing activities

**Briefly describe each activity.**

**Make it easy to start sharing an activity.**

**Help people prepare to join a session before displaying the activity.**

**When possible, defer app tasks that might delay a shared activity.**

## Platform considerations

### visionOS

**Choose the spatial Persona template that suits your shared activity.**

**Be prepared to launch directly into your shared activity.**

**Help people enter a shared activity together, but don’t force them.**

**Smoothly update a shared activity when new participants join.**

#### Maintaining a shared context

**Make sure everyone views the same state of your app.**

**Use Spatial Audio to enrich your shared activity.**

**When possible, let people discover natural, social solutions to confusions or conflicts that might arise during a shared experience.**

**Help people keep their private and shared content separate.**

  * Private 
  * Selected 
  * Shared 

#### Adjusting a shared context

**Let people personalize their experience without changing the experience for others.**

**Consider when to give each participant a unique view of the shared content.**

**Make it easy for people to exit and rejoin a shared activity.**
