The playing
event is fired after playback is first started, and whenever it is restarted. For example it is fired when playback resumes after having been paused or delayed due to lack of data.
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.');
};
