Still, it only works when video creators manually add chapters in the description of their videos. In a 2021 update to the YouTube app for iOS and Android, Google did add an option to share videos at specific start times. Add a Timestamp Using a Shortcut (iOS only).Whenever you hit the 'Share' option for a video in the official YouTube app for Android or iOS, you can only copy or share the video's main link - there is no option to append a start-at timestamp to a video's URL as the desktop website has - but there are other ways to share timestamped videos from your mobile device. For example, if you or someone else only needs to learn how to take the glove box door off in a car, the video can begin when the disassembly happens, bypassing the intro and unnecessary chatter. It's also perfect when you want family, friends, and followers to jump right to the good stuff, skipping the portion they don't need to see. Tacking a start time to a YouTube video is an easy way to bookmark a specific part of the video to come back to and reference later. Why would you even want to use shareable YouTube links with start times? Until YouTube adds a 'start time' when sharing videos from the mobile app, you'll have to use one of these workarounds on your phone or tablet.

You can add a timestamp to any YouTube video in just a few clicks from the desktop website on your computer but not from YouTube's iOS or Android app.
