I want to give out a link to a YouTube video have it start the playback at a specific time in the clip, e.g., 2 minutes and 45 seconds.

Is that possible?

@mark4o: go that direction yourself. Embedded parameters have nothing to do with the plain youtube link. Ok? As well as those who as those who ask and answer the questions. It is a dup of webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/13607/…, which was created a month later. And, there is a right answer, webapps.stackexchange.com/a/13612/15479. Downvote and remove the wrong answer here. – Val Apr 28 at 14:53
@Val: This question is about embedding a start time in a YouTube URL to send to someone, not embedding a video with a start time in a web page. – mark4o Apr 29 at 5:54

To specify a point, append a tag to the end of your video link with the following syntax: “#t=1m45s” (you can change the numbers before the ‘m’ and ‘s’ to edit the minutes and seconds, respectively.

Here’s an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bibCui3lFM#t=1m45s
