How To Link To A Specific Time Of A YouTube Video

8 Mar 2009

If you want to link to a specific part of a video on YouTube, you can. For example,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjDw3azfZWI#t=31m08s

Notice the “#t=31m08s” on the end of the URL? That link will take you 31 minutes and 8 seconds into that video. Linking to a particular minute and second can be really helpful – for example, that link takes you straight to where someone asks Eric Schmidt a question about Twitter. From there, you can listen to his answer, where he says (among other things):

“We’re in favor of all of these new communications mechanisms. I think the innovation is great, Twitter’s success is wonderful, and I think it shows you that there are many, many new ways to communicate, especially if you’re willing to do so publicly.”

Would be a better way for users to actually send a link to a timecode rather than a URL hack.
