In order to start a YouTube video at a certain point you would add this to the video URL:
#t=2m25s
Where “2m” indicates 2 minutes and the “25s” indicates 25 seconds. So, the following will cause the video to begin playing at 2:25 of the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg#t=2m25s
This method only works for directly linking to YouTube videos. But, what if you want to start an embeded YouTube video at a certain point? That’s simple as well.
First, grab the video embed code after specifying your desired settings.
It will look something like this:
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dMH0bHeiRNg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dMH0bHeiRNg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dMH0bHeiRNg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&start=145"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dMH0bHeiRNg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&start=145" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
