On YouTube , you can find videos that are a few seconds long or videos that are several hours long. In any case, you may need to send a video to your friend at some point and want to show them a specific scene from it, which, let's say, is not at the beginning. Forget sending a video by telling your friend to watch at, for example, the 10:15 mark. Below we will show you how to send a link correctly.
Visit the YouTube the video you want to share and then:
1) Select the "Share" option below the video.
2) Check the " Start " option and type in the box to the right of this the time at which you want the video to start.
3) Copy and share the link.
As you may have noticed, the link you copied is in the format https://youtu.be/XxXxXxXxXxXxX?t=10m15s. The above process added the red part to the link, which indicates to YouTube that the video should not start from the beginning, but from the 10:15 (10 minutes, 15 seconds) point to anyone who clicks on the link.
Note: For the timed start to work, the recipient of the link must click on the link. For example, if you paste the link on Facebook or another Social Network, the video preview that may appear will start the video from the beginning. So, you can normally share a link on Social Networks with a timed start, but not with the video preview. Users should be taken to YouTube by clicking on the link.
