HTMLMediaElement: durationchange event

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 durationchange event is fired when the duration attribute has been updated.

Syntax

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

ondurationchange = (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():

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:

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

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