Description

TimeStamp link in the YouTube description allows you to create timestamps and links to help your viewers just to any part of your video.

These timestamps make it so much easier to navigate longer videos and just right to the exact second you want.

Here is how you create them. All you have to do is put the time in the description or comments of your videos.

For example, if I type in 2:00, the link will go right to the two-minute mark.

How To Add A TimeStamp Link In YouTube Description

Hey everyone in this quick video, I wanted to show you how you could add timestamps to your YouTube description. So if you saw a YouTube description, That has timecode stamps and when you click those stamps, it takes you to that part of the video. That's what we're going to look at today. So let me jump to my YouTube page and let me go down to a video that's a little bit longer because, in longer videos, you want to give people those cue cards to jump around the video.

So let me go ahead and click that and let me go ahead and pause that video. So here, I'm going to press edit video to edit this description and in the description tab, this is where we could put those time codes for us to jump around and all you have to do is type in the time where you want to jump into the video.

So literally if you wanted to go to two minutes and 55 seconds, that's all you got to do is the type that in. I usually like to put a description, so for creating a file song, name it. So the audience knows what they're going to get and I'm going to press save. So when I press save, I could go back to my video here and now if I click this, it will take me to that part of the video, just like that two 55. It took me to that part of the video. Let me edit that again. So what you want to do is you want to create multiple timestamps, just like this, to give your audience the best points in the video to jump around because maybe 12 minutes is too long and they were just looking for something specific.

This gives your audience a better way to navigate. So if you want it to take someone to 10 minutes again, per 10 minutes, if you wanted people to skip the intro, you could do zero 34. That will take you to the 34-second mark, let me save again, a view, the video one more time. So there we go. Now we got our 10-minute mark.

So if I click that, it's going to take me right to the 10-minute mark. If I click 34, it takes me to the 34-second mark. So it's a really great way to go back and forth between the different time codes and I've been told that every time someone clicks, one of these actually constitutes a different view because they're jumping to the different part of the video.

So if someone clicks this one and then this one, it counts as two views for your YouTube video. I hope you found this video useful. Please give it a like and subscribe to the channel for a lot more.
