How can I pause ALL videos (html5) at once?

Question

// now pause all active videos
$('.vid').get(0).pause();
$('.vid').get(1).pause();
$('.vid').get(2).pause();

That's what I have right now, but it's less than ideal. I'm a bit tired, so I could be missing something obvious, but how can I just tell it do pause all instances of .vid class on the page?

Answer 1

Try

$('.vid').each(function() {
    $(this).get(0).pause();
});
