Give this article a like (or raise your hand) to anyone who has ever found it necessary to explain where the action of the video beginsthat you just shared on WhatsApp. Or what if in the minute such or the second which. That if what really matters is at the end. But where in the end? YouTube solved this problem a long time ago thanks to the possibility of sharing the video from a key moment through the computer. But the thing is not so clear when using the mobile.And that's why we explain it here step by step.
There are two ways to do it. And no, they are not very comfortable formulas But they are useful and serve their purpose: to highlight a detail within a YouTube video without any further doubts or explanations . They can be used on both Android and iPhone phones, you just have to be patient enough to carry out the sending process. And, above all, remember the steps to take to achieve what you are looking for. At the moment WhatsApp does not present more options, so this is what to do.
Mobile method
The gist of this method is that you can't use the YouTube application Otherwise, you need to take advantage of the online player. Just enter the Internet browser and search for the YouTube page.It acts practically the same as the application, allowing you to search for videos, review categories, etc.
Once you have found the video you want to share, all you have to do is copy the address from the top bar of your browser. Then it is taken to the current conversation or chat and pasted. Eye! No need to send it yet.
First you need to touch up the end of this line of text and characters. In it, without spaces, add the symbols &t= with which the time function is opened. Then it only remains to specify the specific point of the video. To do this, it remains to add, again without spaces, the formula 0m00s Of course, the zeros must be replaced by the number of minutes and the specific seconds. And then yes, the link can now be sent.
When clicking on it, the YouTube application opens with the video in question. But the interesting thing is that the content resumes playing from the specified key point.
Computer method
There is a much simpler and more direct formula. Of course, for this, it is necessary to be in front of the computer It would be about sharing a link from YouTube through WhatsApp Web. You just have to access a video and look at the bottom, next to the description. From here you can share using the Start In function.
When the box is checked, the exact minute and second at which the video has stopped appears Thus, all that remains is to copy the address , which has already attached the information of the point from which to play, and take it to the WhatsApp Web chat where you want to share.
Arduous but effective
This system is not as affordable as a user would like. However, YouTube has not yet implemented a more convenient way of recording a playback point through its application. In fact, copying the link from the YouTube application does not work with the first of the methods explained above, since it changes the format of the link. Issues that would not hurt to review to make things easier for users.
If you don't want to use these methods, all you have to do is copy the link address or share it directly from the YouTube application. And, of course, specify in the written message, the minute and second key that you want to display.
