What Is a YouTube Timestamp Link?

When you want someone to see a specific part of a video, a timestamped link saves them from scrubbing. YouTube reads a t parameter in the URL — measured in seconds — and seeks the player to that point on load. This tool converts the hours, minutes and seconds you enter into the right total and appends ?t= (or &t=) correctly, whether the link already has query parameters or not.

Teachers point students to the exact step in a tutorial, support teams jump to the relevant explanation, and friends share the funny bit without the preamble. The tool also shows the human-readable 1h2m3s form that some links use, and a Test button opens the link so you can confirm it lands where you expect.

The same link works in the mobile app and in any desktop browser, and it is built entirely on your device — no account, no shortener and no tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the deep link work?
The player reads a t parameter in seconds — for example ?t=90 starts at 1:30. The tool converts your hours, minutes and seconds into that value and appends it to the URL correctly.
What time formats are accepted?
Enter the moment as separate hour, minute and second fields. The tool sums them into total seconds and also shows the human-readable 1h2m3s form some links use.
Does it work in the mobile app?
Yes. The same ?t= link opens the app on iOS and Android and seeks to the timestamp, just like it does in a desktop browser.
