HTMLMediaElement: ratechange event

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

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

onratechange = (event) => { }

A generic Event.

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():

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

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

Using the onratechange event handler property:

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

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