Examples
These examples add an event listener for the HTMLMediaElement's playing
event, then post a message when that event handler has reacted to the event firing.
Using addEventListener()
:
const video = document.querySelector('video');
video.addEventListener('playing', (event) => {
console.log('Video is no longer paused');
});
Using the onplaying
event handler property:
const video = document.querySelector('video');
video.onplaying = (event) => {
console.log('Video is no longer paused.');
};
