How to embed part of a YouTube video with specific start and end time
For example let’s say you want to embed a movie in to your site and you want your visitors to focus on that particular scene. To do so you have to make the video start from x seconds and stop at y seconds. Here you go!
Go to YouTube and find a video that you like to embed in your site and simply grab the iframe embed code. Now your embed code looks like the one below.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/dv_gOBi8Wpk?rel=0″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
To make a video start and end at specific time we are going to add start and end parameter next to ?rel=0 that is &start=xxxx&end=yyyy. So the final embed code should look like this.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/dv_gOBi8Wpk?rel=0& start=xxxx&end=yyyy ” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
If you checked show related videos at the end then you wont see ?rel=0 at the end of the URL. In that case you have to just add ?start=xxxx&end=yyyy at the end of the URL before quotation mark. It will look like this.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/dv_gOBi8Wpk?start=xxxx&end=yyyy ” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

The final video will look like this.
