HTMLMediaElement: duration 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 read-only HTMLMediaElement property duration indicates the length of the element's media in seconds.

Value

A double-precision floating-point value indicating the duration of the media in seconds. If no media data is available, the value NaN is returned. If the element's media doesn't have a known duration—such as for live media streams—the value of duration is +Infinity.

Examples

js
const obj = document.createElement("video");
console.log(obj.duration); // NaN
