HTML Audio/Video DOM controller Property

Example

Check if the video has a media controller:

var vid = document.getElementById("myVideo");
alert("Controller: " + vid.controller);

Definition and Usage

The controller property returns the current media controller of the audio/video.

By default the audio/video element does not have a media controller. If a media controller is specified, the controller property will return it as a MediaController object.

Tip: Use the controls property to set or return whether a video should display standard video controls.
