 ### Event props
 
+#### onAudioBecomingNoisy
+Callback function that is called when the audio is about to become 'noisy' due to a change in audio outputs. Typically this is called when audio output is being switched from an external source like headphones back to the internal speaker. It's a good idea to pause the media when this happens so the speaker doesn't start blasting sound.

+Payload: none

+Platforms: Android ExoPlayer, iOS

 #### onLoad
 Callback function that is called when the media is loaded and ready to play.
