- 2. Enter the start time as minutes and seconds (e.g. 2:15)

FAQ
It adds a t parameter to the URL (for example ?t=135 or &t=135 for 2:15). YouTube reads that value in seconds and starts playback there automatically.
Yes. The tool keeps the t parameter intact for both youtube.com and youtu.be formats, and the YouTube app honors it when the link opens on phones.
No. Chapters are timestamps in your own description (first must start at 0:00, you need at least 3, each 10 seconds or longer). A timestamp link is a shareable URL that jumps to one moment, useful anywhere outside your description.
Once the stream ends and becomes a regular video, yes, the timestamp points to that spot in the recording. During a live broadcast the time offset behaves differently, so generate the link after it is archived.
