How to Find Your YouTube Video URL Link

To share your YouTube video and increase views, you first need to find the video URL. Here are two simple methods:

Method 1: Using YouTube Studio

  1. Log in to YouTube and click your profile icon at the top right.
  2. Select "YouTube Studio" to access your channel dashboard.
  3. Navigate to the "Content" section.
  4. Click the pencil icon to edit the video you want to share.
  5. On the right side, under the thumbnail preview, find and copy the "Copy video link" provided by YouTube.

Method 2: Directly from the YouTube Video Page

  1. While watching a video, click the "Share" button located below the video next to the like button.
  2. Copy the link displayed in the share popup.
  3. Alternatively, copy the URL directly from the browser's address bar.

How to Share a Specific Part of a YouTube Video

Sharing a video starting at a specific timestamp saves viewers time and directs them to the most relevant content.

Using YouTube Studio

  1. Open the video in YouTube Studio and navigate to the desired timestamp.
  2. Click the "Share" button.
  3. Check the box labeled "Start at" which will automatically add the timestamp to the URL (e.g., ?t=10 for 10 seconds).
  4. Copy and share this link.

Using the YouTube Video Page

  1. Play the video and pause at the exact moment you want to share.
  2. Click the "Share" button below the video.
  3. Check the "Start at" box to generate a timestamped URL.
  4. Copy and share this link.

Example

To share the "Join our YouTube community" section at 1 minute 45 seconds:

  • Pause the video at 1:45.
  • Click "Share" and check "Start at 1:45."
  • Copy the link and share it. The video will start playing from 1:45 for anyone who clicks the link.

Benefits of Sharing Timestamped Links

  • Saves viewers time by directing them to relevant content.
  • Increases engagement by highlighting key video sections.
  • Makes sharing more efficient and user-friendly.
