HTMLMediaElement: durationchange event - Web APIs | MDN

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

js

addEventListener("durationchange", (event) => { })

ondurationchange = (event) => { }

Event type

A generic Event.

Examples

These examples add an event listener for the HTMLMediaElement's durationchange event, then post a message when that event handler has reacted to the event firing.

Using addEventListener():

js

const video = document.querySelector("video");

video.addEventListener("durationchange", (event) => {
  console.log("Not sure why, but the duration of the video has changed.");
});

Using the ondurationchange event handler property:

js

const video = document.querySelector("video");

video.ondurationchange = (event) => {
  console.log("Not sure why, but the duration of the video has changed.");
};
