YouTube Timestamp link generator
A YouTube Timestamp Link Generator is a tool that helps create a direct link to a specific time (timestamp) in a YouTube video. Instead of asking viewers to manually skip to a certain point in a video, this tool generates a clickable link that automatically starts the video at the desired moment.
How It Works
Normally, when you share a YouTube link, it starts at the beginning of the video. However, YouTube allows you to add a timestamp (t=
parameter) to the URL so that the video plays from a specific time.
Manual Format of a YouTube Timestamp Link

or
https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID?t=SECONDS
For example, if a videoβs ID is abc123xyz
and you want to start it at 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the timestamped link would be:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abc123xyz&t=150s
or
https://youtu.be/abc123xyz?t=150
(150 seconds = 2 minutes 30 seconds)
