TextTrackCue: startTime property

{{APIRef("WebVTT")}}

The startTime property of the {{domxref("TextTrackCue")}} interface returns and sets the start time of the cue.

Value

A number representing the start time, in seconds.

Examples

In the following example a new {{domxref("VTTCue")}} (which inherits from TextTrackCue) is created starting at 0.1 second and ending at 0.9 seconds. The startTime property is then printed to the console.

let video = document.querySelector("video");
let track = video.addTextTrack("captions", "Captions", "en");
track.mode = "showing";

let cue = new VTTCue(0.1, 0.9, "Hildy!");
console.log(cue.startTime); // 0.1
track.addCue(cue);
