HTMLVideoElement: poster property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The poster property of the HTMLVideoElement interface is a string that reflects the URL for an image to be shown while no video data is available. If the property does not represent a valid URL, no poster frame will be shown.
It reflects the poster attribute of the <video> element.
Value
A string.
Examples
html
<video
id="media"
src="https://example.com/video.mp4"
poster="https://example.com/poster.jpg"></video>
js
const el = document.getElementById("media");
console.log(el.poster); // Output: "https://example.com/poster.jpg"
