These YouTube URLs are the ones you would get after using the 'Share' button under the YouTube video. If the URL doesn't have a question mark, use the option that starts with the question mark. Example: /watch?v=aVXSQPoEQr4 &t=1m28s.These YouTube URLs are the ones you would see in a web browser tab. If the original YouTube video URL contains a question mark anywhere, use the option that starts with an ampersand (&). However, depending on the URL's structure, you can add either one of the two options below to the end of a URL. All you have to do is find a video, copy the URL as you normally would, and then paste it somewhere where you can edit it.

The most straightforward way to add a timestamp to a YouTube video on Android and iOS is to do it manually. Add a timestamp using a shortcut (iOS only).

We hope that Google adds a 'start at' option to its mobile app, but we have other ways to do it from a smartphone until then. And long-pressing timestamps in a video's description does nothing.

Whenever you hit the 'Share' button for a video in the official YouTube app on Android or iOS, you can only copy or share the video's main link without a start time set - there is no option to add a timestamp. Unfortunately, tacking on timestamps from YouTube's mobile app is impossible - but there are workarounds. When you share the link or need to reference it later yourself, the timestamp makes the video start at the point specified, not the beginning. The desktop version of YouTube, meaning the one you access on your computer, lets you add a timestamp to any video you're watching in just a few clicks.
