HTMLMediaElement: volumechange event

{{APIRef("HTMLMediaElement")}}

The volumechange event is fired when either the {{domxref("HTMLMediaElement.volume", "volume")}} attribute or the {{domxref("HTMLMediaElement.muted", "muted")}} attribute has changed.

This event is not cancelable and does not bubble.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like {{domxref("EventTarget.addEventListener", "addEventListener()")}}, or set an event handler property.

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

onvolumechange = (event) => { }

Event type

A generic {{domxref("Event")}}.

Examples

These examples add an event listener for the HTMLMediaElement's volumechange event, then post a message when that event handler has reacted to the event firing.

Using addEventListener():

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

video.addEventListener("volumechange", (event) => {
  console.log("The volume changed.");
});

Using the onvolumechange event handler property:

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

video.onvolumechange = (event) => {
  console.log("The volume changed.");
};
