How to Set start time in a YouTube Video


           Suppose you are watching an interesting 10 min video on YouTube and you would like to share it with a friend. An important part in the video starts at 5th minute and 33rd second. 
It was not start the video at a specified time. The user had to wait till the 5th minute and 33rd second then watch the video. But now with a small change in the URL will do the trick.


Example:-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qazwsx you can change it to


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qazwsx#t=5m33s


and that will start the video at  5min 33 sec. This is a very small tweak but very very useful.


Let’s examine closely what extra # we typed does,


t= time, m=minutes, s=seconds. So if I type #t=5m33s it means 5th minute and 33rd second; the video will start exactly at the time specified.
