Hi 👋

Corona-time is video-time. 🍿 😉

I’d like to embed YouTube videos about the daily situation, with official statements, FAQ, etc and add individual chapters marks with timecode below the embedded video. It should look like a table. Each video gets it own post.

Is there any possibility to trigger jump positions inside embedded videos?

Best and stay healthy!

Hi Robert,

I already know about this sharing option. But that’s not exactly what I’m looking for. 🙂

I think he just want links under the video, each link triggering on click a particular timestamp on the video.

I like the idea.

I doubt that the basic youtube embedding will have this out of the box anytime soon.

While it looks like they’ve got a [javascript API](https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference) for controlling embedded videos, that’d take some amount of work to support direct timestamp links here in Discourse - Would be kinda neat though.

This feature would be really great in near future. I’m missing chapter marks per default since day one, YouTube exists. Especially at the offsite usage.

Vimeo just actually introduced this exact feature pretty recently:

> **[Easy navigation for your videos with Chapters](https://vimeo.com/blog/post/easy-navigation-for-your-videos-with-chapters/)**
>
> Today, we’re excited to announce our latest player tool designed to help your viewers easily navigate your videos and find those important moments faster.

Their player is a lot more customizable in general but note it looks like this is only an option with paid accounts, and of course only works with _your_ videos. But seems like a good bet.

Otherwise for YouTube videos I think a manually created list / table right below the video might be better than nothing, even if more just for reference vs interactive clickable thing.
