Did you see that?
Sometimes YouTube videos can be long and difficult to search. Use this tip to direct someone's attention to a certain moment in the video! Click the Share button below the video. There is a checkbox below the link that says, "Start at..." You can enter a specific time OR pause the video at a specific point and then click Share. YouTube will auutomatically insert the time into the "Start at..." box. Copy the link to the video or use the Share buttons. When someone views the video, it will automatically skip to the selected time. When they start the video, it will begin at that point.
