YouTube Time Anchor Trick: Skip-Ahead Linking To Video

12/11/2008 By Ravi Jayagopal 3 Comments

Let’s say you found this incredible video on YouTube that you wish to share with your subscribers/friends/family.

But you watched it already and say, the first 3 minutes is all garbage (or just plain boring).

So how do you link to the video such that your viewers skip the 3 minutes and go directly to the actual part of the video that you want them to watching from?
