Want to share all those helpful tutorials you’ve found on YouTube with your coworkers? Well, they won’t do any good unless you tell your coworkers where exactly in the video their interest should lie. After all, no one wants to waste time, right? Here’s how you can skip to anywhere in a YouTube video in a simple, easy way.
## But Why Skip Ahead to a Specific Time?
If you’ve found something super helpful, then you want to make sure that the person you’re sending the video to can benefit from it immediately.
The last thing you want is for someone to waste 20 minutes going over the same steps that they’ve already worked through on a specific task, just to find what’s most helpful. You can include a snippet into the URL to link directly to a certain part of the video. Your video recipients will be glad they don’t have to wait around; they can get to the good stuff right away.
It’s also incredibly easy to do.
## Here’s How to Include a Timestamp in Your YouTube Video Link
To insert a time marker, just follow these three steps:
- Open any YouTube video and pause it at the time you want to share.
- Right-click the video and select the option to Copy video URL at current time.
- Paste the URL into the email, message, or wherever you’re sharing it.
Easy, peasy.
If you want to understand how it all works, you can look at this video URL:
Check out the ending of the URL: t=43. That 43 represents the number of seconds into the video that it should start.
But if we want to start the URL later, like one minute later, you could add “1m” to the link:
Simply put, the “1m” means one minute and the “43s” means 43 seconds.
Well, there you have it! For more great tips and tricks, keep your eyes glued to our blog.
