{{APIRef("HTMLMediaElement")}}
The ended event is fired when playback or streaming has stopped because the end of the media was reached or because no further data is available.
This event occurs based upon {{domxref("HTMLMediaElement")}} ({{HTMLElement("audio")}} and {{HTMLElement("video")}}) fire ended when playback reaches the end of the media.
This event is not cancelable and does not bubble.
[!NOTE] The
endedevent doesn't fire if theloopproperty istrueandplaybackRateis non-negative.
Use the event name in methods like {{domxref("EventTarget.addEventListener", "addEventListener()")}}, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("ended", (event) => { })
onended = (event) => { }
A generic {{domxref("Event")}}.
These examples add an event listener for the HTMLMediaElement's ended event, then post a message when that event handler has reacted to the event firing.
Using addEventListener():
const video = document.querySelector("video");
video.addEventListener("ended", (event) => {
console.log(
"Video stopped either because it has finished playing or no further data is available.",
);
});
Using the onended event handler property:
const video = document.querySelector("video");
video.onended = (event) => {
console.log(
"Video stopped either because it has finished playing or no further data is available.",
);
};
