HTMLMediaElement: played property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The played read-only property of the HTMLMediaElement interface indicates the time ranges the resource, an <audio> or <video> media file, has played. It returns a new TimeRanges object that contains the ranges of the media source that the browser has played, if any, at the time the attribute is evaluated.

Value

A TimeRanges object; representing the time ranges that have been played.

Examples

js
const media = document.querySelector("audio");
const playedTimeRanges = media.played;
let timePlayed = 0;
// calculate the total time the media has played
for (let i = 0; i < playedTimeRanges.length; i++) {
  timePlayed += playedTimeRanges.end(i) - playedTimeRanges.start(i);
}
console.log(`The media played for a total of ${timePlayed} seconds.`);
