Link to a Certain Time in a YouTube Video

This article will show you how to link to a specific point in any YouTube video by adding an extension to the URL. That way, next time you post a link to Facebook or email your friend that funny video, it'll start right where you want it to.

Steps

 * 1) [[Image:Youtube_187.JPG|thumb]]Go to the video you are linking to and pause it at the point you want it to start when you link to it. Hover the cursor over the round time marker on the red bar at the bottom of the video. The time should appear above it.
 * 2) Add #t=[number minutes]m[number seconds]s to the end of the URL in the browser bar, ensuring it follows directly after the video code. If it says "&feature=related" or "&feature=popular" right after the code, just erase that.
 * 3) Your URL should now look like this: youtube.com/watch?v=a1b2c3d4#t=1m15s (This example would link to 1 minute and 15 seconds.)
 * 4) Copy and paste the URL so the people who click on it will start watching it right at that time!

Tips

 * You can also link to a time in the comments of a video. You may type the time in any of three ways; using 3 minutes and 14 seconds as an example, you could type 3:14, 3m14s, or 3 minutes 14 seconds. This will link to the chosen time after posting your comment.
