Sharing a timestamp on YouTube is a great way to give your friends a specific time to start watching a video. To share a timestamp on the YouTube app, you'll need to have the app installed on your device.

First, open the YouTube app and navigate to the video you want to share. The YouTube app allows you to share a specific time in the video, making it easier for others to jump right in.

To find the timestamp, tap on the time icon in the top right corner of the video player. The timestamp will be displayed in the format HH:MM:SS, showing you the exact time in the video.

You can then share the timestamp with others by tapping on the share icon, selecting the method you prefer, and copying the link.

To do this, navigate to the video you want to share and pause it at the exact moment you want to include in the timestamp. Then, click the Share button and select the checkbox under the URL that says Start at. Optionally, adjust the time if it isn't correct.

You can use either the shortened URL that starts with https://youtu.be/ or the full URL that starts with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=. If you're using the shortened URL, use ?t= to set the timestamp. If you're using the full URL, replace the question mark with an ampersand and use &t= instead.

Here's a summary of the correct syntax for creating a link with a timestamp:

For example, if you want to share a video that starts playing from 2 minutes and 50 seconds, you would use the following links:

  • Shortened URL: https://youtu.be/DLF9FPxGVwI?t=2m50s
  • Full URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLF9FPxGVwI&t=2m50s

Remember to copy the updated shortened URL with the timestamp appended to share the link with others.

The easiest method is to add a timestamp using YouTube's sharing options. To do this, navigate to the exact moment you want to include in the timestamp, stop the video, and click the Share button.

Alternatively, right-click on the video while it is paused and then click on the 'Copy video URL at current time' option in the drop-down menu. On Mac, hold down the Command key and then click on the video.

To share the copied link, simply paste it anywhere. The person viewing the video through the link will see the video start from the point at which you created a timestamp.
