<h2 id="Summary">Summary</h2>
<p>The <code>@media</code> <a href="/en/CSS" title="CSS">CSS</a> <a href="/en/CSS/At-rule" title="en/CSS/At-rule">at-rule</a> associates a set of nested statements, in a CSS block that is delimited by curly braces, with a condition defined by a <a href="/en/CSS/Media_queries" title="CSS media queries">media query</a>. The <code>@media</code> at-rule may be used not only at the top level of a CSS, but also inside any <a href="/en/CSS/At-rule#Conditional_Group_Rules" title="en/CSS/At-rule#Conditional_Group_Rules">CSS conditional-group at-rule</a>.</p>
<p>The <code>@media</code> at-rule can be accessed via the CSS object model interface {{domxref("CSSMediaRule")}}.</p>
<h2 id="Syntax" name="Syntax">Syntax</h2>
{{csssyntax}}
<p>A <code><media-query></code> is composed of a media type and/or a number of media features.</p>
<h2 id="Media_types" name="Media_types">Media types</h2>
<div class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Firefox currently only implements the <code>print</code> and <code>screen</code> media types. The <a class="link-https" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4650" title="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4650">FullerScreen</a> extension enables support for the <code>projection</code> media type.</div>
<dl>
<dt>all</dt>
<dd>Suitable for all devices.</dd>
<dt>print</dt>
<dd>Intended for paged material and for documents viewed on screen in print preview mode. Please consult the section on <a href="/en/CSS/Paged_Media" title="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/Paged_Media">paged media</a>, and the <a href="/en/CSS/Getting_Started/Media" title="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/Getting_Started/Media">media section of the Getting Started tutorial</a> for information about formatting issues that are specific to paged media.</dd>
<dt>screen</dt>
<dd>Intended primarily for color computer screens.</dd>
<dt>speech</dt>
<dd>Intended for speech synthesizers. Note: CSS2 had a similar media type called 'aural' for this purpose. See the appendix on aural style sheets for details.</dd>
</dl>
<div class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> CSS2.1 and Media Queries 3 defined several additional media types (<code>tty</code>, <code>tv</code>, <code>projection</code>, <code>handheld</code>, <code>braille</code>, <code>embossed</code>, <code>aural</code>), but they were deprecated in <a href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/mediaqueries/#media-types">Media Queries 4</a> and shouldn't be used.</div>
