Frequently Asked Questions

What format does the timestamp use?
You can enter time as HH:MM:SS or MM:SS. The tool converts it to the ?t= parameter that YouTube recognises for direct playback at that point.
Does this work with YouTube Shorts?
YouTube Shorts do not support timestamp parameters because they are short-form vertical videos. Timestamps only work on standard YouTube videos.
Can I share the link anywhere?
Yes. The generated link is a standard YouTube URL with a time parameter appended. It works in any browser, chat app, email, or document.
