Embedding a video with it playing at a point after the beginning?
What's the syntax for this? I've seen some of you do it. In the right-click menu for youtube videos, I do see "Copy video URL at current time", which adds "?t=(number of seconds after video start" For instance ?t=393 .

I tried adding this to the end of the URL in the embed code but that's not working. I tried adding this syntax to inside of the quotation marks surrounding the video, and outside of the quotation marks. Not working, but I know this is possible. Are you guys using the "Clip" feature provided by youtube?

Stop the video at the point you want to start from.

When you click the 'share' option and select 'embed' you'll see a little box down in the corner of the window that says 'start playback at: ', which will be the point at which you stopped it. You can adjust this by putting in a different time.

If you leave it unchecked, the video will start at 0.00.

I've been doing the following:
1). I've been moving the video slider to the point where I want the video to start
2). Click on Share
3). Click on Embed & Start at __ to include the where to start the video.
4). then paste the Embed (below example) code in between the Embed code_here tags.

The start Flash_Video tag
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/f6RqUV7G8hg?start=1314" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>The end Flash_Video tag

I've been doing that for some time now, to get through the chaff and straight to the wheat, so to speak. . I like to include a link to the video if people want to see it in its entirety.
