YouTube Timestamp Link & Embed Generator
Paste a YouTube link and choose a time to get a link that starts the video right there. Need the video on your own website? The embed code below can start and stop at the times you choose, play muted on load, loop, hide the controls and use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode.
How do I link to a specific time in a YouTube video?
Add the time to the video link. For a short youtu.be link that is ?t= followed by the number of seconds, for example https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID?t=90 starts at 1:30. A full watch link uses &t=90s. Paste the link above, type the start time in any form you like (1:30, 90, 1m30s) and copy the result. If the link you paste already contains a time, it is filled in for you.
How do I embed a YouTube video that starts at a certain time?
The embed player takes a start value in seconds, and the generator adds it for you. You can also set an end time: the player then stops at that second, which is handy when you only want to show one part of a longer video on your page.
Why does autoplay not start the video?
Most browsers block videos that start playing with sound on their own. If you tick "Autoplay", also tick "Start muted": muted videos are usually allowed to start by themselves, and viewers can turn the sound on.
How do I make an embedded YouTube video loop?
Tick "Loop". For a single video, YouTube's player only loops when the video is also given as a playlist, so the generator adds playlist= with the same video ID for you.
What is privacy-enhanced mode?
Privacy-enhanced mode loads the player from youtube-nocookie.com instead of youtube.com. According to YouTube, in this mode it does not store information about visitors on your site unless they play the video. It is switched on by default here, and you can turn it off if you prefer the normal player.
Can I embed YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Paste the Shorts link and the generator switches to a tall 9:16 size automatically. You can still choose any other size from the list.
