Link to a specific part of a YouTube video

Lots of people are now linking to video content on YouTube from their website and blog. But did you know you can link to a specific point within the video?

I didn’t until I read Matt Cutt’s blog post this morning on linking into a YouTube video.

As his post explains with an example, you can add a time parameter to the end of the YouTube video url E.g.  adding “#t=21m02s” to the end of the url would take you 21 minutes and 2 seconds into that video.

Very useful if you want to provide links to specific topics within longer videos, which could be a training video, conference proceedings, interview, concert or perhaps a wedding video!
