The YouTube mobile app finally lets you share timestamped videos

YouTube is making some changes that may affect how videos are shared from the mobile app. Through the app, you can finally share videos from a specific timestamp, making it easy to direct someone to a part of a video they might want to watch while you’re on your phone. However, this change will replace the Clips feature that lets you create a shareable clip from a video.

You’ll still be able to watch any clips you’ve already created. But from now on, “the ability to set an end time or include a custom description when sharing will no longer be available.” YouTube says. The company notes that while trimming is “an important way for creators to reach new audiences,” it says that “a number of third-party tools with advanced trimming features and certified creator software are now available to do this across different video platforms.”

The company originally introduced the Clips feature In 2021.
