How to Embed a Video to Start at a Specific Time

TOC

By URL

On YouTube use the “share” button and checkmark the “Start at” and if you then copy the URL it will have t parameter that starts for time. If you use a URL like that it will just work and is this is not ARVE specific.

For Vimeo the URL with the starting time have the time at the end of the URL after a hash like this

https://vimeo.com/124400795#t=62

By Block or Shortcode attribute

You can also set the start parameter on shortcodes and blocks. It needs to be the time in seconds. For example start=62 where the 62 is the starting time in seconds so this will start the video at 1 minute and 2 seconds.
