Deep Linking for Videos by Youtube.

Posted on 31 October 2008

Youtube has gone ahead with its new feature which enable you to send a link to a video that will start at the precise time you have selected.

Youtube has integrated this feature into the comments section of each video. Anytime a user writes in a time in their comment, YouTube’s system will parse it over and create one of these deep links. For example if you say “The explosion in 2:10 blew my mind” the 2:10 becomes a link to that specific part of the video.

So far this only works on direct video URLs and not embedded clips. The time you want the video to start must be appended by hand with #t=_m_s at the end. You have control over the minutes and seconds, which are what go where the underscores are.
