Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

addEventListener("durationchange", (event) => {}); ondurationchange = (event) => {};
A generic Event.
These examples add an event listener for the HTMLMediaElement's durationchange event, then post a message when that event handler has reacted to the event firing.
Using addEventListener():
js
const video = document.querySelector("video"); video.addEventListener("durationchange", (event) => { console.log("Not sure why, but the duration of the video has changed."); });
Using the ondurationchange event handler property:
js
const video = document.querySelector("video"); video.ondurationchange = (event) => { console.log("Not sure why, but the duration of the video has changed."); };
