What is YouTube timestamp?

What exactly is a YouTube timestamp? I keep seeing people use them in comments and descriptions, but I’m not sure what they do. Can someone explain how they work in simple terms?

People use YouTube timestamps in comments or descriptions to help viewers skip to important parts. It’s super useful for long videos or tutorials.

Yeah, and if you add timestamps in your video description, YouTube automatically makes them clickable. It’s great for user experience and helps with engagement too.

One cool thing: you can also share a video link with a timestamp. The link will start the video at the exact moment you choose. That’s the most practical use of YouTube timestamp.

Awesome, that clears it up! I’ll start using YouTube timestamps in my descriptions from now on.
