MediaMetadata: artwork property

The artwork property of the MediaMetadata interface returns or sets an array of objects representing images associated with playing media.

Value

An Array of objects, each containing the following fields:

src

The URL from which the user agent fetches the image's data.

sizes Optional

Specifies the resource in multiple sizes so the user agent doesn't have to scale a single image. It defaults to the empty string ("").

type Optional

The MIME type hint for the user agent that allows it to ignore images of types that it doesn't support. However, the user agent may still use MIME type sniffing after downloading the image to determine its type. It defaults to the empty string ("").

Examples

The following example checks for browser compatibility and sets the current metadata for the media session.

js
if ("mediaSession" in navigator) {
  navigator.mediaSession.metadata = new MediaMetadata({
    title: "Unforgettable",
    artist: "Nat King Cole",
    album: "The Ultimate Collection (Remastered)",
    artwork: [
      {
        src: "https://dummyimage.com/96x96",
        sizes: "96x96",
        type: "image/png",
      },
      {

        sizes: "128x128",
