This article will show you how to Link to a Specific Part of YouTube Video, so you can share it or watch it again whenever you want. YouTube has something for everyone, but not every video is interesting enough to watch from beginning to end. To be exact, you might be interested in a certain point on the timeline of a YouTube video. We love watching videos on YouTube, and we’re sure that many of our readers feel the same way.
It is the most visited site for entertainment on the web. People go there to watch videos, listen to music, and watch their favourite news shows and comedies. Now, most people will know that they can share a YouTube video with friends and family on social media sites. For those who don’t know, just copy the link and paste it into Facebook, Twitter, or even an email to share it with everyone.
The thing is, not many people will know that you can share YouTube videos from a certain point in the video. If someone found a great scene at the five-minute mark of a video, they don’t have to share the link and make everyone else watch the whole thing or skip to the five-minute mark.
Ways to Link to a Specific Part of YouTube Video

- Click Share.
- Check the Start at box.
- Enter a time for the video to start.

Linking to a Specific Part in a YouTube Video Using Apps
You should mostly use this method if you want to link to multiple YouTube videos and need a quick tool to do most of the work for you. If you already know the start times, you can just type them into the tool. This will help a lot.
- Open the YouTube Time tool.
- Enter the YouTube video URL and the start time.
- Click Get Link.
- Copy the URL, and then share it at a later time.
YouTube already makes time-specific links for you, so there’s no reason to use this tool for one-off situations. But if you need to link to a specific part of a lot of YouTube videos, this will make your job a lot easier.
Using Right-Click
This method works best if you are already watching a YouTube video and want to share a specific part.
- Pause the video.
- Right-click on the video.
- Select Copy video URL at current time.
- Share the URL.
When you copy the URL, it will copy from the point in the video where you stopped it. The link will be copied to your clipboard, so you can share it later. When someone clicks on the link you gave them, they will be taken to the exact time in the video.
