Tip of the Week:
Make a YouTube Video Start at the Good Part
YouTube has lots of great content that we all love to share with our friends, including our own 'home movies', but often we must wade through a few minutes of YAWN in order to get to the good stuff.
The next time you are excited about a YouTube video that you find, but you don't want to make your friends sit through the boring beginning, use this tip from PCWorld.com:
Add #t=XXmYYs to the end of the YouTube link, where XX is the number of minutes and YY is the number of seconds.
Suppose that you want the video to start at the 5:45 mark. Just copy and paste the link into an e-mail like you normally would, then add #t=05m45s to the end of it (making sure there are no spaces between the link and the extra code).
That's all there is to it! Now, when anyone clicks that link, they'll jump straight to 5 minutes, 45 seconds (or whatever spot on the timeline you've chosen). |
