TextTrackCue

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 TextTrackCue interface of the WebVTT API is the abstract base class for the various derived cue types, such as VTTCue; you will work with these derived types rather than the base class.

These cues represent strings of text presented for some duration of time during the performance of a TextTrack. The cue includes the start time (the time at which the text will be displayed) and the end time (the time at which it will be removed from the display), as well as other information.

EventTarget TextTrackCue
