Does buffer mean load?
Could you choose the correct words and phrases for the paragraph please?
When watching videos online, some sites won't let you skip to any part of/in the video unless the part you are skipping to has already loaded. If you press the loading bar/tool where the video/part of the loading bar that hasn't loaded/buffered, it takes you back to the beginning of the video.
Other site allow you to skip to any part in/of the video regardless of whether the content has loaded/buffered. The content/video will then start loading/buffering from that point on.
Thanks

A buffer is a place in computer memory, which serves as temporary storage for content of any kind (but it's usually filled with content from either files or streams). "buffering" refers to the process of filling a buffer (with some kind of data). "buffer" and "load" are synonymous in some contexts (as you have correctly guessed), but they are usually not interchangeable.
