## Anatomy

<FrameworkCase frameworks={["react"]}>
  ```tsx
  <SeekButton />
  ```
</FrameworkCase>

<FrameworkCase frameworks={["html"]}>
  ```html
  <media-seek-button></media-seek-button>
  ```
</FrameworkCase>

## Behavior

Seeks media by a configurable number of `seconds` (default 30). Positive values seek forward, negative values seek backward. The seek is clamped to media bounds (0 to duration).

## Accessibility

Renders a `<button>` with an automatic `aria-label` describing the action, e.g. "Seek forward 30 seconds" or "Seek backward 10 seconds". Override with the `label` prop. Keyboard activation: <kbd>Enter</kbd> / <kbd>Space</kbd>.
