Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about YT Timestamp and how to use our YouTube timestamp link generator tool effectively.

What is YT Timestamp?

YT Timestamp is a free tool that allows you to create direct links to specific moments within YouTube videos. Instead of sending someone a full video and asking them to skip to a certain point, you can generate a link that starts playing exactly at the timestamp you want.

How do I create a timestamp link?

Creating a timestamp link is simple:

  1. Paste a YouTube video URL or video ID into the input field
  2. Enter the hours, minutes, and seconds for the timestamp
  3. Click "Generate Timestamp Link"
  4. Copy the generated link or use one of our sharing options

Is YT Timestamp free to use?

Does YT Timestamp work on mobile devices?

Absolutely! Our tool is fully responsive and works on smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. You can create and share timestamp links from any device with a web browser.

Are the timestamps accurate?

Yes, the timestamps are accurate to the second. However, please note that slight variations (1-2 seconds) may occur depending on video buffering and the viewer's internet connection. For critical timing, we recommend setting the timestamp 1-2 seconds earlier than your intended point.

Can I create multiple timestamps for a single video?

Yes, you can create as many timestamp links as you need for different moments in the same video. Simply generate each timestamp separately.

Do timestamp links work on all YouTube videos?

Timestamp links work on all public YouTube videos. However, they may not work on:

  • Private videos
  • Videos with restricted embedding
  • Videos that have been age-restricted or region-blocked

How do I share my timestamp link?

Once you've generated a timestamp link, you can:

  • Copy the link directly and paste it anywhere
  • Use our social sharing buttons for WhatsApp, Twitter, or Facebook
  • Generate a QR code for easy mobile sharing
  • Send via email using our email sharing option

Does YT Timestamp collect or store my data?

We collect minimal data required for the tool to function. We don't store the YouTube URLs or timestamps you enter on our servers. Your recently generated links are stored locally on your device for convenience. For more details, please see our Privacy Policy.

Can I use YT Timestamp for commercial purposes?

Yes, you can use YT Timestamp for both personal and commercial purposes. However, please ensure that you respect YouTube's Terms of Service and copyright laws when sharing video content.

The video doesn't start at the exact timestamp. Why?

This can happen due to several reasons:

  • Video buffering delays
  • Slow internet connection
  • The viewer's YouTube player settings
  • Browser or device compatibility issues

For the best results, we recommend setting your timestamp 1-2 seconds before the exact moment you want to highlight.

Is YT Timestamp affiliated with YouTube?
