:seeking

Limited availability

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

The :seeking CSS pseudo-class selector represents an element that is playable, such as <audio> or <video>, when the playable element is seeking a playback position in the media resource. A resource is considered to be seeking if the user has requested playback of a specific position in the media resource, but the media element has not yet reached that position.

Seeking is different from :buffering in that the media element is not currently loading data, but is instead skipping to a new position in the media resource. For more information, see the Media buffering, seeking, and time ranges guide.
