You can try to run the following code to learn how to execute a script when the media has started playing −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <body>
      <video id = "myid" width = "350" height = "200" controls onplaying = "display()">
         <source src = "/html5/foo.ogg" type = "video/ogg" />
         <source src = "/html5/foo.mp4" type = "video/mp4" />
         Your browser does not support the video element.
      </video>
      <script>
         function display() {
         alert("Video started playing!");
         }
      </script>
   </body>
</html>
