<media-play-button>

The <media-play-button> component is used to toggle your media playback state.
In simpler terms, it is used to both play and pause your media content.

The contents and behavior of the <media-play-button> will update automatically once your media playback state changes.

• When your media begins to play, the component will switch to show the contents of its pause slot.
• When your media is paused, the component will display the contents of its play slot.

<media-controller>
  <video
    slot="media"
    src="https://stream.mux.com/A3VXy02VoUinw01pwyomEO3bHnG4P32xzV7u1j1FSzjNg/low.mp4"
    playsinline
    muted
  ></video>
  <media-play-button></media-play-button>
</media-controller>

You can modify the contents of the <media-play-button> component using slots. This is useful if you’d like to use your own custom play button instead of the default one provided by media-chrome.

Here’s an example of how you can replace the default play and pause icons with the literal words “Play” and “Pause”:

<media-controller>
  <video
    slot="media"
    src="https://stream.mux.com/A3VXy02VoUinw01pwyomEO3bHnG4P32xzV7u1j1FSzjNg/low.mp4"
    playsinline
    muted
  ></video>
  <media-play-button>
    <span slot="play">Play</span>
    <span slot="pause">Pause</span>
  </media-play-button>
</media-controller>

The <media-play-button> does not expose any configuration attributes.
However, it will be updated with media state attributes any time your media playback state changes.

You can use these attributes to apply custom styles to your <media-play-button> element under different state conditions:

media-play-button[media-paused] {
  animation: glow 2s;
}

The media UI attributes will be set automatically by the controller if they are connected via nesting or the mediacontroller attribute. Only set these attributes manually if you know what you're doing.
