YouTube Magic URL Link to start a film at a specific point, not the start

Hi, it's Stuart from Doris Visits. I hope you're having a great weekend. This film could be very useful to a lot of people but maybe for those who especially use our site where we make travel videos that can be 10 or 12 minutes long. If you want to send somebody a clip, a URL, for the video to start at a specific time, say four minutes in or five minutes in, just when you reach the amphitheatre in Bodrum, or if it's a video about a car and you want it to start on the engine, starting a clip at a specific time is very easy on YouTube and this is how you do it. You could want the video just to start at a specific point to tell someone about something special. I'm actually dealing with a post which is about a book that is here published in writing so you can read it but also listen. So the video to listen with the sound is on YouTube. So on the left hand side I have my substack post, on the right hand side this is my video where the audio can be found and pictures. So this is an audio, a video, which has various timing slots anyway so it makes it really easy and I'm looking for the chapter that starts here. I can start it by clicking on the time and stop it by putting it on the pause. So I have the specific chapter that goes with the chapter that's written in this post. I can stop it there and that is my chapter, definitely the one I want. Now I know it says C11 there and it's 10 there but don't worry about that, this is definitely the chapter I want. Now go to the share button, this is where the magic happens and here it says start your clip. Bottom left hand side is a box, start the clip from where you are which is 027 seconds. Press copy, that's your URL which you can send to somebody. Now you may be worried because the tick's gone out of the box, if you are worried just tick it again but once you press the copy you'll see the tick goes. So here is where I had the post of the video, I don't want the whole video, I'm actually just going to put in this chapter so I'm now going to put in the new URL by pasting it. Looks the same because it's the same title card but it's actually going to start exactly where I want it to. So I'm going to test it by going to preview, here is the post with the written book, orders and there's the sound. The ship has three stairwells, midships is in the middle. Done, automatically saves on the sub stack. That's where this book is published free to listen to free, to read free as well as three of my other books. Let's do this one more time but on a film you may be more familiar with. Here is one of Gene's videos showing you the whole of the Azura from top to bottom but we want to go to this particular area, the ivory suite and we want to send somebody a link just of the ivory suite. This is how you could do it incorrectly because I'm pressing share, the film's still running so the time's changing. So the time is saved at 5.44 and the link I'm copying is for 5.44 when I press that share button. I don't want that, I actually want it to start at the ivory suite, that position. So let's go and find it again. There's the ivory suite, stop it. Now watch the share time, it's not 44, it's actually 39. So you have to stop the video exactly where you want it to play and then get your magic URL. Okay the film's running and Gene's showing you the rest of the Azura cruise ship but if we posted our special link into the box and press go it'll take us to exactly where we want. We're in the ivory suite and this is where you can come and renew your wedding vows and little known fact you can come and tinkle the ivories, practice the piano. And if you've discovered our thrilling cruise novels the best way to read all 10 is in the mega box set because it's about the cost of one book. On Amazon the CSCI mega box set.
