YouTube plays an important role in our lives whether it is helping us fix items, learn new skills or simply enjoy some entertainment. But, you may not always need or want to watch a YouTube video in its entirety. Maybe you want to share a certain point in a performance with a friend or maybe you'd like to save a certain point in a video to reference when doing maintenance on a household item. Today's tip helps you do that.
If you see something in a YouTube video that you want to share or save at a particular point, you can get a link that opens directly to that moment:
1) Stop the video at the point you want to share with others or save in your Bookmarks.
2) Click the Share button below the video. Look for a checkbox below the link. It will automatically display the time at which you currently have the video stopped.
3) Click on Copy and then Paste it into an email or message to a friend. When someone clicks on your link, it will take them directly to point you wish them to view.
If you would like to bookmark the YouTube video for yourself and have it always open to a certain point in the video, follow the above procedure, but instead of pasting the link in an email or message, paste it into the URL box of your browser. Then add your bookmark to the browser.
