Whether you’re building a music player, a video streaming platform, or simply adding multimedia content to your website, understanding and leveraging media events is essential for providing a smooth and engaging user experience.

Understanding Media Events
Media events are triggered by actions or changes in the playback state of audio and video elements in HTML. These events provide hooks for executing JavaScript code in response to events such as playing, pausing, or reaching the end of media playback.
