The removetrack event is called whenever a track is removed from the media element whose audio tracks are represented by the AudioTrackList object.

Use cases

You can use this event to react to a new audio track becoming unavailable. You may want to update your UI elements to disallow for user selection of the removed audio track, for example.

Examples

Using addEventListener():

const videoElement = document.querySelector("video");

videoElement.audioTracks.addEventListener("removetrack", (event) => {
  console.log(`Audio track: ${event.track.label} removed`);
});

Using the onremovetrack event handler property:

const videoElement = document.querySelector("video");

videoElement.audioTracks.onremovetrack = (event) => {
  console.log(`Audio track: ${event.track.label} removed`);
};
