How To Share A Youtube Video Starting At A Specific Time

Link To A Specific Time In A YouTube Video

Please annotation that this post is over a yr old and may contain outdated information.

You tin can link to a specific part of a YouTube video, and then that upon visiting the URL you are taken straight to that time, three unlike means:

Method 1
The first is using the Share push button on the video folio, which will prompt you with a "Commencement at" selection. It amends the share URL with the query cord needed to offset at the specific time.

Method 2
The second option is adding the query string yourself. If yous're using the shortened YouTube share link (youtu.be), you'd add together it like either of these URLs (the minutes are optional if you're linking to a time that is less than a minute):

https://youtu.exist/WOk4Nyq4sNM?t=0m20s
https://youtu.be/WOk4Nyq4sNM?t=20s
If yous're using the full YouTube URL, you would add it like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOk4Nyq4sNM&t=0m20s
Method iii
The 3rd option is adding a fragment identifier to the URL (# sign). It's similar to the query string, though does non announced to work in electric current versions of Firefox.

January 2020, use a parameter named offset, which is an integer indicating the number of seconds at which to start playing. To get-go at 3min19s, utilise ?start=199 (or ?.......&start=199)

I for got, I too wanted to betoken out the other (better) option is to use the semicolon in identify of the ampersand. The & is an HTML escape so it really never should have been used in the first place, people simply ignore that 'rule'. But either must come up after the question mark, which is the start of the query, and are used for splitting the parts of information technology. Information technology's much easier to write in HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOk4Nyq4sNM;t=0m20s since zippo needs to be escaped, in the same mode that + is frequently used for a infinite rather than escaping with %xx (HTTP entity for a space).

It does still work on the current URL, or video y'all are watching. What's likely is that YouTube is doing a redirect then the # is dropped. The one reason to use it is to link to times in the video without reloading the whole folio as the query would do. However this requires JavaScript lawmaking to add the time as a query to the video request.

The # is not supposed to work in a URL, I don't know why anyone would ever try information technology since it'south not sent to the server.

Utilise "&" instead of "#" or "?" - works for me with firefox. Don't know why they continue changing it....

Nick Jan 26, 2018
Information technology withal works with the # sign on Chrome, simply does announced to no longer be working with Firefox. I'll update the mail service with some more information on that. Thank you!

Peter Ryan January 26, 2018
As of 2018 this doesn't work anymore with the # sign, you demand to use ? instead. Example: https://youtu.be/a4rK5iqJke8?t=3m27s
