<p>In this example, we use the addEventListener() method to attach a "timeupdate" event to a video element. When the user starts to play the video, or skips to a new position in the video, a function is triggered, which will display the current position (in seconds) of the video playback.</p>
<video id="myVideo" controls>
<source src="mov_bbb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
<p>Playback position: <span id="demo"></span></p>
<script>
// Get the video element with id="myVideo"
var x = document.getElementById("myVideo");
// Attach a timeupdate event to the video element, and execute a function if the current playback position has changed
x.addEventListener("timeupdate", myFunction);
function myFunction() {
// Display the current position of the video in a p element with id="demo"
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x.currentTime;
}
