Alternative start point for a Web object video

Mar 04, 2016

Hello,

I have found a really good video that i want to use within my training.

The only issue i have is that the start of the video isn't relevant, so my question is:

Is there a way of using the video but somehow starting it from an alternative position from where the video wants to start? EG i want to start the video at the 3rd minute and not the start.

Thanks!

Hi Grant!

We have instructions for how to do this with YouTube. Hopefully this documentation will assist.

It really depends where you're embedding the video from. Many services, like Youtube, allow you to specify the start point of the video in the url. Other than that, you might have to use some javascript to accomplish that.

Hi, Grant -- Please let us know if the suggestions provided will work for you, and if you should decide to use JavaScript as Mike mentioned, I wanted to stop in to note in case you weren't aware that is not something for which we'd be able to provide support. But, we have lots of JS experts in the community who are usually happy to help! :)
