YouTube Timestamp Link Generator

A timestamp link generator makes a YouTube link that starts playing at a chosen moment, so the person you send it to lands on the answer, the goal or the chorus instead of the start of a long video.

Type the time the way you'd say it, such as 1:30, 1:02:45, 90 or 1m30s, and the tool converts it to seconds, checks it isn't past the end of the video, and builds four versions: a normal watch link, a short youtu.be link, an embed link and ready-to-paste HTML. If the link you paste already contains a time, that time is filled in for you. Teachers, support teams and anyone quoting a video in a discussion use it constantly.

Adding t= to a YouTube link tells the player where to start: youtube.com/watch?v=…&t=90s or youtu.be/…?t=90 both start 90 seconds in. Embedded players use start= instead.

YouTube's own Share button can add the current time, but only in the app or player you're watching in. This tool makes the link from any time you type and checks that the video is long enough.
