YouTube timestamp link FAQ
Is the YouTube timestamp link generator free?
Yes. You can create and copy timestamp links without an account or AI credits. Complete Cloudflare verification first; the link is then generated in your browser without a video lookup.
Which start-time formats can I enter?
Use non-negative whole seconds such as 150, minutes and seconds such as 02:30, or hours, minutes and seconds such as 01:02:30. Minutes and seconds after the first colon must be below 60.
What does a YouTube timestamp link look like?
For a start time of 2 minutes 30 seconds, the generated link uses the form https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID&t=150s. The t parameter specifies the starting point in seconds.
Does this tool check the video length?
No. It builds a link from the video URL and time you enter without retrieving the video. Choose a time within its duration and open the result to check it.
Can I set an end time or download a clip?
No. This tool creates a link with a start time only. It does not trim, download or create a separate video clip.
Can a timestamp link open a private or removed video?
A timestamp does not change access permissions or restore unavailable content. The recipient must still be able to access the original video on YouTube.
