::cue {   color: yellow;   font-weight: bold; } 

::cue

The ::cue CSS pseudo-element matches WebVTT cues within a selected element. This can be used to style captions and other cues in media with VTT tracks.

::cue {   color: yellow;   font-weight: bold; } 

The properties are applied to the entire set of cues as if they were a single unit. The only exception is that background and its longhand properties apply to each cue individually, to avoid creating boxes and obscuring unexpectedly large areas of the media.

Syntax

::cue | ::cue( <selector> )
