Import

import '@videojs/html/ui/captions-radio-group';

Anatomy

<CaptionsRadioGroup.Root>
  <Menu.Trigger>
    <CaptionsRadioGroup.Value />
  </Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Content>
    <CaptionsRadioGroup.Options
      renderItem={(props, item) => (
        <Menu.RadioItem {...props}>
          {item.label}
          <Menu.ItemIndicator checked={item.checked} />
        </Menu.RadioItem>
      )}
    />
  </Menu.Content>
</CaptionsRadioGroup.Root>

<media-captions-radio-group>
  <template>
    <media-menu-radio-item>
      <span data-part="label"></span>
      <media-menu-item-indicator></media-menu-item-indicator>
    </media-menu-radio-item>
  </template>
</media-captions-radio-group>

Behavior

The group is available when the configured media exposes at least one caption or subtitle track. The first generated option is Off; selecting it hides captions. Track labels use the track label, then language, then kind. Pass formatTrack to customize the visible labels.

<media-captions-radio-group> generates <media-menu-radio-item> children, including the Off item. Add an optional <template> with a single <media-menu-radio-item> to customize each generated item.

Styling

Attribute	Values	Description
`data-active`	Present / absent	Present when captions are enabled.
`data-disabled`	Present / absent	Present when track selection is disabled.
`data-hidden`	Present / absent	Present when caption or subtitle tracks are unavailable.
`data-availability`	`"available"` / `"unavailable"`	Whether caption or subtitle tracks are available.

Unavailable groups receive the native hidden attribute.

Accessibility

The group uses the menu radio group pattern.

The element receives an accessible label from the label property or defaults to Captions.
