How to Edit Start and End Time for YouTube Videos

Jan 25, 2018

I am attempting to edit the code so that I can include both a beginning and end point to a  youtube video I want to embed in  my RISE course. I've attempted to make the changes, but so far I've only been able to adjust the start time, but not the end time.

Thank you for this information! I'm having trouble with my end times working-- do you have any suggestions? I've tried a few different videos and none of them seem to be working for me. I'm not sure if it's a glitch with YouTube specifically or something else is in the HTML code or what the issue is -- the start is working fine, but they just aren't ending where I've indicated. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you! (I'm also trying to use the same clips in a PowerPoint version of the training and it isn't working there either which is why I think it has something to do with YouTube or elsewhere in the code).

Hi Renz! Thanks for the assist! This is the code I am attempting to embed: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xpeNuHBL6-4?start=1350&end=1490" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> 

The video URL is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpeNuHBL6-4&t=1382s

Any direction or advice is much appreciated! :-)

Hi Jean, thanks for sharing your embed code!

We've got this issue documented, there seems to be a problem when using "&' in the embed field. 

The start parameter will work, but the end parameter has an issue after the "&" symbol. Sorry if this is slowing you down in any way. I'll reach out once this is resolved or we make any changes that help.

Hi Alyssa...I tried doing what the video suggested.....https://www.youtube.com/embed/qi9nVpc9gq4?start=21&end=87

It doesn't work for me???

I then tried what Erin suggested....https://www.youtube.com/embed/qi9nVpc9gq4?start=21&amp;end=87 and that doesn't seem to work for me.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks,
