Learn how to share embedded youtube video at current time

Today on this Blogger Post - Tableau Pricing - I run through my pricing strategy, how I capture URLs, and what you can do to send users back to videos.

I kick immediately into the how to do it.

Let's use my current favorite artist career, Drake and music to study!

Embedded youtube video at the current time

Copy and paste the share code in your note pad. Embedded youtube video at a current time is just right around the corner.

Right click video, current time URL, grab that link and paste it. We should probably talk about what's going on in here.

Core principal is following the same standards as Youtube does.

#1 take note of the URL - https://www.youtube.com/embed/5AR2YD4AHcM

The URL directory /embed/  is a piece of this puzzle, it helps everything understand how to display your youtube video on your website or blog.

Another usage of fun code in your URL

Learning how to share embedded youtube video at the current time has an interesting speed bump here.

You would think you would now grab that ?t=122 and throw it on the end of your embedded player.

Youtube, I believe adding a right click embed at current time function, would be beneficial to the user workflow.

Wrong
You will use ?start!


?start=144
Now you can embed youtube video at current time.

Which we learned over at this blog.
Thanks for that!

More from their blog:
Bonus 1: If you also want to end the video at a specific time, add &end= and the time you want the video to end at (same formula as above, multiple minutes by 60 and add seconds). 2:38 = 2*60+38 = 158 seconds
