Standard YouTube shortcode:
To make it start from a specific point when you click the play button, you change the shortcode to this:
Where NNN = how many seconds from beginning of video.
Example:
I want to embed the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdYrvPnqNbU, but make it start at 10.50. I’ll write:
Result:
(Lady Anne scene from Pacino’s Looking for Richard. Unfortunately this great scene is split in two; continued here:)
To get back to more mundane things: for other Youtube shortcode options see Support doc on YouTube.

Posted by Panos | July 31, 2011, 00:03Awesome stuff again, Panos, really helping me out with all these tips! Got a question though, is there anyway to start at a certain point for audio and not just videos? For example, if I wanted to embed a blog talk radio gigya link could I get it to start playing at a certain point? Would it help if I shared with you the code? Thanks!
Posted by Josh Paunil | August 12, 2011, 05:27As far as I know, it’s not possible to do that with audio.
Posted by Panos | August 12, 2011, 12:29Great tip! Thank you Panos.
