## HTML Audio/Video DOM: `seeked` Event
The `seeked` event fires when the user has finished moving or skipping to a new position in an audio or video file.
This event is highly useful for updating custom media player controls, synchronizing animations, or tracking user engagement once a skip operation is complete.

## Definition and Usage
The `seeked` event is triggered immediately after a seek operation completes.
* **The Opposite Event:** The opposite of the `seeked` event is the [`seeking`](av-event-seeking.html) event, which fires as soon as the user *starts* moving/skipping to a new position.
* **Retrieving the Position:** You can use the media element's [`currentTime`](av-prop-currenttime.html) property to get the new playback position (in seconds) once the seek operation has finished.
