How can I set the name (label) of HTML5 <video>
element that browsers (like Chrome) and Windows OS display?
Like the title that Windows shows for this youtube video (when changing speaker volume):
Currently for me the page title is shown (the title set in page head
).
I tried adding a title="..."
attribute to the video
element but it had no effect. Also didn't find a solution on StackOverflow.
As the other answer stated, it can be done with JavaScript and Media Session API.
Check out this YouTube video.
if ("mediaSession" in navigator) {
navigator.mediaSession.metadata = new MediaMetadata({
title: "Unforgettable",
artist: "Nat King Cole",
album: "The Ultimate Collection (Remastered)",
artwork: [
{ src: "https://dummyimage.com/128x128", sizes: "128x128", type: "image/png" },
{ src: "https://dummyimage.com/512x512", sizes: "512x512", type: "image/png" }
]
});
}
