In some occasions, we wish to specify in a YouTube video where to start watching, and where to stop. This will help us to share just the important part instead of watching the entire video.
To set up the starting point, it is easy because it is already available in the SHARE button.
- By including snippet in the link
- append '?start=xx' to the link of the video like https://youtu.be/aewpIWAf?start=90 where:
- xx is the starting point
- alternatively use '?t=xx'
- append '?start=xx' to the link of the video like https://youtu.be/aewpIWAf?start=90 where:
- By adding snippet to a web HTML page as part of the embed code
- Locate the question mark ('?') right after the YouTube video ID
- after the question mark ('?'), add 'start=xx', or '?t=xx' then
- followed by adding '&' (html code for the ampersand sign). Do not forget the semi-colon. This is needed only when there are additional codes in the source URL
- Using http://youtubestartend.com
- Paste the YouTube Link and press Preview Video
- Key in Start Time and End Time
- System will generate a link, which is the link to use for the video with designated start and end time
