The HTML default Attribute is a Boolean attribute. This attribute is used to specify that the track will be enabled if the user's preferences do not indicate that another track would be more appropriate.
Note: With a default attribute, there must not be more than one track element per media element.
Syntax:
<track src="subtitles_en.vtt" default>
Applicable:
Example: In this example, we demonstrate the use of the default attribute within the <track> element of a video. It provides English subtitles as the default option for the video playback.
