  • YouTube users can now include video timestamps when sharing links from the mobile app.
  • For the time being, users can only adjust the shared timestamp by manually scrubbing through the video’s timeline.

YouTube is the leading video streaming platform, offering vlogs, documentaries, Shorts, tutorials, and much more. For years, the desktop website has allowed users to share specific timestamps when copying YouTube videos’ URLs. This allows link visitors to watch a shared video starting at the specified timestamp — rather than its beginning. To cater to smartphone users, YouTube is now rolling out timestamp-sharing support to its mobile app.
