RE: How To Properly Embed YouTube Videos Into Your Steemit Article And Make Views Count In Your YT Channel [tutorial]

in #howto7 years ago

Marly,
Thanks so much for the information! I just made a blog post that was from the "share" section that you said not to use! This is really helpful. I do have another question though - if you use the embed code does it start from the exact second of the video that you wanted it to?
Again, thanks for the helpful article!

You are more than welcome! :-)

If you use the embed code does it start from the exact second of the video that you wanted it to?

I don't understand your question. Embedding means that you just use a window on steemit and the view is generated on YouTube itself. So the clip always starts at timestamp 0:00 after pressing the play button.

OK I'll put it differently. If I want a video to start at 1:05, I know that in the code i need to put ?start=65 in the html code, but it doesn't seem to be working. Do you know how to get it to play from a certain time point in the video?

Hi @mrbmrsb, if you want to do that youtube embed allows that feature. See image how i set it to start at 1:05 and not at the 0:00.

Im not a programmer. But i think you can do that in discription , like 1:05 and what event starts ant that time .
