TextTrack.removeCue()

The removeCue() method of the TextTrack interface removes a cue from the list of cues.

Syntax

TextTrack.removeCue(cue);

Parameters

cue

A TextTrackCue.

Return value

Undefined.

Exceptions

NotFoundError DOMException

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.

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);
