Starting a YouTube video at a specific time allows viewers to skip introductions, outros, or any other unnecessary parts of the video. This can be especially useful for long videos or for videos that you want to share a specific clip from. There are two ways to start a YouTube video at a specific time: using the “t=” parameter in the URL or using the “#t=” parameter in the embed code.
To use the “t=” parameter, simply add “?t=X” to the end of the YouTube URL, where X is the number of seconds into the video that you want to start from. For example, to start a video at the 1-minute mark, you would use the following URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXX&t=60
