MediaElementAudioSourceNode: mediaElement 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 2020.

The MediaElementAudioSourceNode interface's read-only mediaElement property indicates the HTMLMediaElement that contains the audio track from which the node is receiving audio.

This stream was specified when the node was first created, either using the MediaElementAudioSourceNode() constructor or the AudioContext.createMediaElementSource() method.

Value

An HTMLMediaElement representing the element which contains the source of audio for the node.

Examples

js
const audioCtx = new window.AudioContext();
const audioElem = document.querySelector("audio");
let options = {
  mediaElement: audioElem,
};
let source = new MediaElementAudioSourceNode(audioCtx, options);
console.log(source.mediaElement);
