  <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="video.ogg" type="video/ogg">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>/* ww  w  . j  a v  a  2s .c  om*/
<button onclick="myFunction()">Test</button>
<p id="demo"></p>

<script>
function myFunction() {
  var x = document.getElementById("myVideo").controller;
  document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x;
}
</script>

</body>
</html>

The controller property returns the current media controller of the video.
