media-mute-button

Accessible mute/unmute button with keyboard support and volume state reflection

Anatomy

<media-mute-button></media-mute-button>

Behavior

Toggles mute on and off, and exposes a derived volumeLevel based on the current volume and mute state.

Styling

Style the button based on muted state:

media-mute-button[data-muted] .icon-muted { display: inline; }
media-mute-button:not([data-muted]) .icon-unmuted { display: inline; }

Use data-volume-level for multi-level icon switching:

media-mute-button[data-volume-level="off"] .icon-off { display: inline; }
media-mute-button[data-volume-level="low"] .icon-low { display: inline; }
media-mute-button[data-volume-level="medium"] .icon-medium { display: inline; }
media-mute-button[data-volume-level="high"] .icon-high { display: inline; }

Accessibility

Renders a <button> with an automatic aria-label: “Unmute” when muted, “Mute” when unmuted. Override with the label prop. Keyboard activation: Enter / Space.
