TextTrack: removeCue() method

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 removeCue() method of the TextTrack interface removes a cue from the list of cues.

Syntax

js
removeCue(cue)

Parameters

Return value

Undefined.

Exceptions

NotFoundError DOMException

Thrown if the given cue is not found in the list of cues.

Note: The TextTrackCue interface is an abstract class used as the parent for other cue interfaces such as VTTCue. Therefore, when removing a cue you will be passing in one of the cue types that inherit from TextTrackCue.

Examples

In the following example a cue is added to a video text track using addCue(), then removed using removeCue.

js
let video = document.querySelector("video");
let track = video.addTextTrack("captions", "Captions", "en");
track.mode = "showing";
let cue = new VTTCue(0, 0.9, "Hildy!");
track.addCue(cue);
track.removeCue(cue);
