YouTube timestamp link generator
Build a link that opens a video at the exact second you mean — paste the URL, type the time, copy the link.

YouTube reads a t parameter in seconds. ?t=90 and ?t=1m30s both open at a minute and a half; the plain second count is the safest across apps and embeds.
Where each form belongs
- watch?v=…&t=90s — the full form, best for descriptions and anywhere the link is clicked on desktop.
- youtu.be/…?t=90 — short and tidy in chats and comments; it opens in the app on mobile.
Timestamps in comments and descriptions
You do not need a link at all inside your own video description or a comment on it: writing 1:30 as plain text turns into a clickable jump automatically. Links are for sending someone to a moment in a video from somewhere else.
Find the moments viewers talk about
PostLink analyses the comments on any video and surfaces the moments and questions viewers care about most — the raw material for your next video and its title.

What URL formats are supported?
Standard YouTube watch URLs, youtu.be links, and Shorts URLs all work.
Can I enter the timestamp as seconds?
Yes. Plain seconds (e.g. 90), mm:ss, and hh:mm:ss formats are all supported.
Why use a timestamp link?
It sends viewers straight to a key moment, which is useful for tutorials, interviews, podcasts, and product demos.
