Add several times at once and you'll get a list of ready-to-share youtu.be links, one for each moment.

    Paste the video link

    From your browser bar or the Share button.

    Type the times

    1:30, 90, 1:02:03 or 1m30s — one per line.

    Copy the links

    Each one starts playback right there.

Frequently asked questions

Do timestamp links work in the YouTube app?

Yes. The ?t= parameter is understood by the website and the iOS and Android apps.

Can I link to a time in a Short?

Shorts are under a minute and always start from the beginning, so timestamps are ignored on Shorts.

What's the longest time I can use?

Any time within the video's length. If you go past the end, YouTube simply starts at the beginning.
