Make a link to a specific section of a YouTube video and other tidbits
If you wanted to link to a YouTube video, (not to play in the forum), you might use something like this...
...but what if you wanted to link to a short section of that video? Well you can, by making a few changes to the url.
First, remove the watch?v= and replace it with embed/ ...
...then add a start time of 30 seconds for example, and a stop time of 40 seconds, to the end of the url ?start=30&end=40 . If you omit the stop time &end=40 the video will play from the start time to the end. If you omit the start time start=30 the video will play from the beginning to the stop time.
...and that is your completed link.
If you want it to autoplay, then add &autoplay=1 to the end...
If you want a video to loop automatically, you need to add a playlist parameter, playlist=[video ID] and a loop parameter, loop=1. You can't loop a video with a start and end time though. To loop a single video, the playlist parameter takes the value of the video ID itself as shown in the example below...
If you want to make a custom playlist, just add more video IDs to the playlist parameter separating each one with a comma...
