How to Timestamp in Videos You’re Watching on YouTube?

Pause the video at the moment you want to mark

Note the current time shown on the player

Add the timestamp in the video comments or your notes in the format mm:ss or hh:mm:ss

If sharing the link, append the timestamp to the URL using ?t= or &t=

On mobile, tap the time display if available or use the scrub bar to read the current position

Use YouTube’s chapter markers if the video already includes them

Copy the video URL at the current time by right-clicking the player and selecting Copy video URL at current time, if available

Save the timestamp with a short label for later reference
