Use this interactive demo to learn how to share a YouTube video starting at a specific timestamp.

Quick summary

Copying a YouTube timestamp link lets you share a video that starts at an exact moment. Right-clicking the video player and selecting Copy video URL at current time generates a shareable link with the timestamp embedded.


Steps

  1. Open the YouTube video and play or scrub to the exact moment you want the link to start from.
  2. Pause the video at that point, then right-click anywhere on the video player and select Copy video URL at current time.
  3. Paste the copied link into a browser tab to confirm it opens at the correct moment before saving it.

📌 Why this matters

Sharing a YouTube timestamp link lets you direct viewers to a precise moment in a video without requiring them to scrub manually. This feature is essential for content creators, educators, and marketers who need to reference specific segments in tutorials, presentations, or social posts. The built-in right-click context menu makes copying a timestamped URL instant and requires no third-party tools. Mastering this skill saves time and improves the clarity of video-based communication.
