HTMLMediaElement: ratechange event

The ratechange event is fired when the playback rate has changed.

This event is not cancelable and does not bubble.

addEventListener("ratechange", (event) => {});

onratechange = (event) => {};

Examples

These examples add an event listener for the HTMLMediaElement's ratechange 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("ratechange", (event) => {
  console.log("The playback rate changed.");
});

Using the onratechange event handler property:

js

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

video.onratechange = (event) => {
  console.log("The playback rate changed.");
};
