Starting youtube embeds at a time in

Product Support

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around starting YouTube embeds at a specific time. Mittineague initially struggled to find a solution, trying to add GET variables to the URL. elberet suggested using the “start at” box on YouTube’s share widget, which adds a query parameter ?t=Xs to the URL. codinghorror confirmed this method works. Mittineague marked the issue as solved after trying elberet’s suggestion. Additionally, riking provided alternative ways to specify the start time, including #t=, &t=, &start=, and &end=, and noted that combining start, end points, and loop may not work.

I’m sure I’ve seen it here but drat if I can find it mow.

I’m looking for the way to onevbox a youtube vid X time into it.

I’ve tried adding GET vars to the URL with my best guesses but have failed miserably.

Does the query param added by ticking the “start at” box on Youtube’s share widget not work?

Works fine for me. So there is no issue here.

Ah, I totally missed that and was thinking it was something I needed to add to the URL myself as in
?t=1m5s

Thanks

These three all mean the same thing:

#t=1m
&t=1m
&start=1m

You can also use:

&end=1m
&loop

You might find that setting a start, end point and loop doesn’t work, however.
