How to link to a particular point in a YouTube video (Deep Links - YouTube Help) - 6 views

Bill Campbell on 16 Apr 12This is how you link to a specific starting point in a YouTube video. Basically, just add #t=XmYs to the end of the video URL. X is the number of minutes and Y is the seconds you want skipped when the video is viewed.

Bill Campbell on 16 Apr 12Right after posting this, I realized there is now a Share option on the YouTube site that you can use to make this even easier. While viewing the YouTube video: 1) pause the video at the point where you want others to start watching, 2) click the Share button, 3) click options (directly under the link), 4) put a check in the Start at box, and finally 5) copy the link provided by YouTube. Note that you can also type in the start at time as minutes:seconds. The #t part of the link that makes the video start at the spot you specified is included in the link.
