Start a YouTube Video At a Specific Point

Do you want to email someone a link to a video, but don’t want them to have to watch the first 5 minutes.  You can edit the link to make the video start at a certain point.

Here is the URL of a YouTube video:

Here is the HTML we will add to the end:

#t=5m08s

The code above would start the video 5 minutes and 8 seconds in.  The “m” is for minutes and the “s” is for seconds.  If you want the video to start less than a minute into it, put a zero before the “m” and the appropriate amount of seconds before the “s”. 

To begin a video 30 seconds into it, use the following code:

#t=0m30s

After you edit the code, add it to the end of the original YouTube URL:
