YouTube Music adds timestamp sharing, useful for podcasts

Flaunt Weeekly

Following the main mobile app earlier this yearYouTube Music for Android and iOS can now share a specific timestamp.

The app-specific Share sheet adds a small “Start at x:xx” toggle in the top-right corner. It uses the position/time when you tap the Share button. The following — t=XX [seconds] — is added to the URL:

  • https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=15m_iQaKHVg&si=ZmtTNEBEBAuZhLCF
  • https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=15m_iQaKHVg&t=82&si=2AW4dbpDL9uwKk6t

This is most convenient for sharing podcasts, but can also be used for songs (or long concert recordings) if you want someone to listen to a particular part. It’s all nice for cross-YouTube applications consistency.

Timestamp sharing is widely available following a server-side update to YouTube Music for Android and iOS. It’s also available on the web.

(YouTube Music for Android’s share sheet has still not been updated to the floating, non-edge-to-edge style. This is the only component on Android and iOS to lack the new look.)
