TextTrack: removeCue() method
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 removeCue() method of the TextTrack interface removes a cue from the list of cues.
Syntax
js
removeCue(cue)
Parameters
cue-
A
TextTrackCue.
Return value
Undefined.
Exceptions
NotFoundErrorDOMException-
Thrown if the given cue is not found in the list of cues.
Note:
The TextTrackCue interface is an abstract class used as the parent for other cue interfaces such as VTTCue. Therefore, when removing a cue you will be passing in one of the cue types that inherit from TextTrackCue.
Examples
In the following example a cue is added to a video text track using addCue(), then removed using removeCue.
js
let video = document.querySelector("video");
let track = video.addTextTrack("captions", "Captions", "en");
track.mode = "showing";
let cue = new VTTCue(0, 0.9, "Hildy!");
track.addCue(cue);
track.removeCue(cue);
