I have a youtube video open on my browser. How to go to specific time stamp using javascript? I want to use this in chrome extension. I can give the t query in url but it reloads the whole page. I don't want to reload the whole page. Help me with this. Thanks

Write a [content script](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/content_scripts) that finds the `video` element and sets its `currentTime`. – wOxxOm Apr 20 '21 at 12:36

Try the player.seekTo(seconds:Number, allowSeekAhead:Boolean) function:
document.getElementById("movie_player").seekTo(seconds,true);

We can even use document.getElementById("movie_player").Currentime=seconds – sandeysh May 04 '21 at 07:31
