    To format a YouTube URL that is indexed to a particular time, just add the minutes/seconds after it like so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BaDQCjqUHU#t=24m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BaDQCjqUHU#t=24m (or NNs for seconds, or MMmNNs etc.)

      I note that format doesn't work with Invidious, it only handles the older(?) format using & instead of # : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BaDQCjqUHU&t=24m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BaDQCjqUHU&t=24m

        Ah. I get around those issues by paying for YouTube, because as a Gen X’er I believe in paying for good services. :P (And its recommendations are excellent, now that Google knows me so well. LOL)

          Now I check, Youtube still generates timestamped URLs with it in the query string. I wonder where the # alternative comes from.
          • pmarreck 3y ago
            I hand-made the URL. I could have used a querystring as well, but the pound symbol usually indexes down to a particular part of a page, so it makes sense that they would also make it index to a particular part of a video
