Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a timestamp for different types of YouTube videos?

Creating timestamps is easy for any type of YouTube content:

  • Regular Videos: Simply paste the video URL and set your desired timestamp
  • YouTube Shorts: Paste the Shorts URL directly - our tool will convert it to a timestamped regular video link
  • Live Streams: Use the live stream URL and set your timestamp - it will work once the stream is archived
  • Embed Codes: Paste the entire iframe embed code - we'll automatically extract the video URL
What URL formats are supported?

We support all YouTube URL formats, including:

  • Standard URLs (youtube.com/watch?v=...)
  • Short URLs (youtu.be/...)
  • Shorts URLs (youtube.com/shorts/...)
  • Live Stream URLs (youtube.com/live/...)
  • Embed URLs (youtube.com/embed/...)
  • Full iframe embed codes
How do timestamps work with YouTube Shorts?

When you use a YouTube Shorts URL, our tool:

  • Automatically converts it to a regular video format
  • Applies your timestamp to the full-length version
  • Provides a shareable link that works on all devices
  • Maintains the original video quality and content

Note: The timestamped link will open in the regular YouTube player, not the Shorts format.

Can I use timestamps with live streams?

Yes! You can use timestamps with live streams in two ways:

  • For ongoing live streams - mark moments to share later
  • For completed streams - create timestamps in the archived version
  • For scheduled streams - prepare timestamps in advance

Note: Timestamps for ongoing live streams will only work once the stream is archived.

How do I share timestamped videos?

You have multiple sharing options:

  • Copy the generated link directly
  • Use our quick-share buttons for:
    • Facebook - Share with friends and groups
    • Twitter - Tweet with custom text
    • WhatsApp - Share in chats and groups
  • Preview the timestamp before sharing
  • Share in emails, messages, or any platform that accepts URLs
Why isn't my timestamp working?

Common issues and solutions:

  • Invalid URL: Make sure you're using a supported YouTube URL format
  • Private Videos: Timestamps only work with public or unlisted videos
  • Live Streams: Ensure the stream is archived for timestamp functionality
  • Shorts: Use the generated regular video link instead of the Shorts URL
  • Embed Codes: Make sure the embed code is complete and valid
  • Time Format: Check that your timestamp doesn't exceed the video length

If you're still having issues, try regenerating the timestamp or contact our support.

Is there a limit to how many timestamps I can create?

No! Our tool is completely free and unlimited:

  • Create unlimited timestamps
  • Use with any public YouTube video
  • Share as many times as you want
  • No account required
  • No daily or monthly limits
