YouTube Timestamp Link Generator

About This Tool

Let’s be real—scrolling through a 45-minute YouTube video to find that one part where the host finally explains the thing you actually care about? Annoying as hell. That’s where a YouTube timestamp link generator comes in. It’s not rocket science. You give it a video URL and a time, and it spits out a link that jumps straight to that moment. No more guessing. No more rewinding like it’s 2005.

I’ve used these tools for years—mostly when I’m trying to share a specific clip with a friend or reference something in a tutorial. They’re simple, but honestly? Kind of genius. Whether you’re a student, a creator, or just someone who hates wasting time, this little trick saves a ton of frustration.

• Lets you set custom start times down to the second.
• Generates a clean, shareable link that opens the video at your chosen moment.

FAQ

Can I use this for private or unlisted videos?
Nope. If the video isn’t public, the timestamp link won’t work. YouTube blocks access, and there’s nothing the generator can do about it. Stick to public videos.

Do I need to install anything?
Not usually. Most timestamp generators are web-based. Just open the site, paste your link, set the time, and copy the new URL. Easy. Some browser extensions exist too, but honestly, the web versions are faster and just as reliable.
