Using addEventListener():
const video = document.querySelector('video');
video.addEventListener('seeked', (event) => {
console.log('Video found the playback position it was looking for.');
});
Using the onseeked event handler property:
const video = document.querySelector('video');
video.onseeked = (event) => {
console.log('Video found the playback position it was looking for.');
};
