About YouTube Timestamp Link Generator
Sharing YouTube videos at specific timestamps
Ever wanted to share a YouTube video but skip the 3-minute intro? Or link directly to the moment in a podcast where someone says something interesting? YouTube supports timestamp links — URLs that automatically start the video at a specific time.
Our YouTube Timestamp Link Generator takes a YouTube URL and one or more timestamps, then generates shareable deep links in the format youtu.be/VIDEO_ID?t=SECONDS.
How timestamp links work
YouTube's URL parameter ?t= accepts seconds (not minutes:seconds). The link https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?t=43 starts the video at 43 seconds. When a viewer clicks the link:
- Desktop browser: opens YouTube at the timestamp
- Mobile browser: opens YouTube at the timestamp
- YouTube app: opens the app and starts at the timestamp
Accepted timestamp formats
The generator accepts:
- Pure seconds:
90→ 1:30 - Minutes:seconds:
1:30→ 90 seconds - Hours:minutes:seconds:
1:02:03→ 3,723 seconds
It converts all formats to seconds automatically for the URL parameter, but displays the human-readable timestamp next to each link.
Use cases
- Share the best moment from a long podcast without making viewers scrub
- Create a table of contents for a tutorial video — generate links for each chapter
- Cite a specific quote in a research document
- Link to a specific play in a sports highlight video
You can also create timestamp chapters inside your own video description with our Description Generator.
