How to link to a specific time in a YouTube video

June 30, 2011

It's a common dilemma. You're watching a funny pets video and you want to send a link to your friend about the bit where the skateboarding dog comes on.

Usually it goes something like "Check out this amazing dog, LOL! It comes on around 2 minutes in".

Now you can send an exact link of a specific time in any YouTube video.

Just right click on the video at the relevant time and then left click on "Copy video URL at current time".

The link is then on your clipboard for you to copy into an email, a Tweet, a Facebook post or whatever.

The resulting link will look something like this:
