[FEATURE] Video syncs with the seekbar #360

@Yurovoid

Description

@Yurovoid

Problem Statement

When I'm watching a video, I would like that the video actually moves on with the seekbar when I slide it, so I can know what actually is in between instead of directly jumping to another point on the video.

Proposed Solution

I would like to suggest a feature where the video actually moves along with the seekbar, just like in YouTube.

User Story

As a user who watches long videos
I want this feature
so that I can know what is going on in the video when sliding the seekbar.

Alternatives Considered

I don't really know about any workarounds for this issue.

Priority Assessment

  • Critical — I can't use Flow effectively without this
  • High — I'd use this feature daily
  • Medium — Nice to have, would improve my experience noticeably
  • Low — Minor improvement, not urgent
