I am attempting to reference the source of quotes in my notes. I am able to reference the YouTube video in general. Is there a way to specify the timestamp where the quote came from? Thanks

Yes, you can add &t=120 to the end of the URL like this:

https://youtu.be/…?si=…&t=120

To jump to the 2 minute(120 second) timestamp.

Later edit:
The above method only works with hyperlinks and not embeds.

But there is a solution for embeds too.

Depending on the URL styntax there are two variants:

  • Basically if there is already a ? in the URL, you need to use &start=120.
  • But if there is no ? you need to use ?start=120

Here are some examples how to pass the start-timestamp argument in the URL:

https://youtu.be/VideoID?start=120
https://youtube.com/watch?v=videoID&start=120
https://youtube.com/VideoID?start=120
