You Tube Tip from Paula Henry

Question: If I am watching a YouTube video and I want to share what is said 4 minutes and 21 seconds into the video, how do I get the video to start at the 4 minute and 21 second mark?

Answer: Copy and paste the YouTube video URL and add the following code to the end of the URL #t=4m21s

Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZZApfdRwYI#t=1m12s

To do it on an embedded video, use the “start” parameter. Note that start takes seconds as a parameter, not minutes and seconds. For example, to start an embedded video 31 minutes and 8 seconds into a video, 31*60+8 = 1868 seconds, so you would need to append &start=1868 to the value= link.

Give it a try!
