interface is a string that provides a hint to the browser about what the author thinks will lead to the best user experience.
It reflects the preload
attribute of the <audio>
element and the <video>
element.
A string. Possible values are as follows:
none
Indicates that the media should not be preloaded.
metadata
Indicates that only media metadata (e.g., length) is fetched.
auto
Indicates that the whole media file can be downloaded, even if the user is not expected to use it.
A synonym of the auto
value.

Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos, but don't worry, you can
<a href="https://example.com/media.mp4" download="media.mp4">download it</a>
and watch it with your favorite video player!
</video>
const el = document.getElementById("el");
console.log(el.preload); // Output: "metadata"
