HTMLMediaElement: volumechange event

Syntax

Use the event name in addEventListener():

addEventListener("volumechange", (event) => { })

Alternatively, assign to the event handler property of the interface:

onvolumechange = (event) => { }

Event type

A generic Event.

Examples

These examples add an event listener for the HTMLMediaElement's volumechange event, then post a message when that event handler has reacted to the event firing.

Using addEventListener():

const video = document.querySelector("video");

video.addEventListener("volumechange", (event) => {
  console.log("The volume changed.");
});

Using the onvolumechange event handler property (but note that this replaces other event listeners added using onvolumechange, if any):

const video = document.querySelector("video");

video.onvolumechange = (event) => {
  console.log("The volume changed.");
};
