HTML5 Video Playback: How to Implement Custom Controls

I'm working on a web project that involves embedding videos using HTML5's <video> element. While the basic video playback functionality is working, I'd like to customize the video controls for a more user-friendly experience.

Specifically, I want to:

  1. Add Custom Buttons: Include custom buttons for actions like play, pause, mute, and fullscreen.
  2. Display a Custom Seekbar: Create a custom seekbar/slider for users to jump to specific video timestamps.
  3. Show Custom Video Time Display: Display the current time and total video duration in a custom format.
  4. Style the Controls: Apply custom CSS styles to match the overall design of my website.

Could someone provide guidance and code examples on how to achieve these customizations with HTML5 video playback? What JavaScript functions and event listeners should I use to create and control these custom elements? Additionally, are there any best practices or libraries that can simplify this process? Your insights would be highly appreciated. Thank you!
