This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

The HTMLMediaElement.fastSeek() method quickly seeks the media to the new time with precision tradeoff.

Note: If you need to seek with precision, you should set HTMLMediaElement.currentTime instead.

Syntax

fastSeek(time)

This example quickly seeks to 20-second position of the video element.

let myVideo = document.getElementById("myVideoElement");
myVideo.fastSeek(20);
