HTMLMediaElement: audioTracks property

The read-only audioTracks property on {{domxref("HTMLMediaElement")}} objects returns an {{domxref("AudioTrackList")}} object listing all of the {{domxref("AudioTrack")}} objects representing the media element's audio tracks.

The media element may be either an {{HTMLElement("audio")}} element or a {{HTMLElement("video")}} element.

The returned list is live; that is, as tracks are added to and removed from the media element, the list's contents change dynamically. Once you have a reference to the list, you can monitor it for changes to detect when new audio tracks are added or existing ones removed. See AudioTrackList events to learn more about watching for changes to a media element's track list.

Value

An {{domxref("AudioTrackList")}} object representing the list of audio tracks included in the media element. The list of tracks can be accessed using array notation, or using the object's {{domxref("AudioTrackList.getTrackById", "getTrackById()")}} method.

Each track is represented by an {{domxref("AudioTrack")}} object which provides information about the track.

Examples
