When using YouTube on the desktop, right clicking a video gives the option to copy a link to a specific point in that video.

Is there a way to link to a specific point of a YouTube video from an iPhone or iPad?

I've tried using the native iOS app and the mobile site, but I can't find a way to link a specific time stamp.

    Send feedback in the app requesting the feature (and that goes for both you and anyone else who sees this that wants this too)!

The format of the query string is very simple. Just append ?t=#m##s to the video URL to link directly # minutes and ## seconds into the video. If the URL already contains a ?, make that &t=#m##s instead.

For instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVPRkcczXCY&t=1m22s will take you 1 minute and 22 seconds into the presentation video for the 2016 MacBook Pro.

So just figure out what point in time you want to link to in a YouTube video, and you can make the link yourself.

  • This also works with https:// youtu.be links, which is particularly important when creating from iOS. Why the ? param isn’t auto added is anyone’s guess.
