How to Share a YouTube Video at a Specific Time

Create a timestamp link with the start time you want, copy it, and paste it wherever you normally share links. The recipient opens YouTube directly at that moment.

“Watch this part” works better when the link starts there automatically.

Quick example

Before: Watch this video. Skip to 18:42.
After: Watch this: https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID?t=1122

Create the link automatically

Use the Timestamp Link Generator to avoid manual URL formatting.

Create a Timestamp Link

Create and Share the Link

Paste the video URL, choose the start time, create the link, then copy it into your message.

Where You Can Share It

If you can paste a normal link there, you can usually share the exact moment there.

Messages and email
WhatsApp, Reddit, Discord, and Slack
Forums, documents, and social posts

Desktop and Mobile

The generated link is the same kind of YouTube link on desktop and mobile. App behavior can vary, so use Open Video to verify an important link before sending it.

Frequently asked questions

Does the recipient need TimestampLink?

No. The link opens YouTube normally.

Can I share more than one moment?

Yes. Use the Multi-Moment Link Builder to create one direct link for each moment and copy them as a plain-text list.

Found the Moment?

Turn it into a link and send someone straight there.
