It's very likely that you will want full control of your application, or at least monitor what may be going on. You will usually find yourself attaching events or listening to them for various reasons. From tracking to enhancing an experience, events are how we can drive interactivity on the page. With HTML5 video, we can use the native browser to monitor the status of the video from start to finish. You have the opportunity to listen for when a video has finished loading and when the user has paused a video.
