Play

Remarks

This method will begin the media if it is not currently active (for example, if the media was loaded without autoplay), or will resume media if it is paused. This method has no effect if the media is currently running.

Example

The following example shows how to use the Play, Pause, and Stop methods to control the playback of a MediaElement.
