Although YouTube continues to update itself with new features or simply redesign the application interface, these are not always the experiences that all users want, and it is precisely today’s that they have at their fingertips. one of the functions which have always been in the desktop version.
Using YouTube on a Laptop or PC allows you to pause a video and with the right mouse button click to be able to share it precisely from that same point. In other words, the shared link, once clicked, will take the user directly to that capture to start playing the video.
And this simple experience, which has always been daily, has never been available on a mobile phone. Everything changes today with update deployment which will allow you to do the same thing from a smartphone in the YouTube app.
According to the 9to5Google report, YouTube for mobile now offers support for timestamps when sharing a video from the app. Simply click the share button to reveal a new option that allows you to automatically add the timestamp to the URL.
Of course, there is a negative point in this new experience and that is that, unlike the desktop version, the mobile version does not allow manual entry
Which means that no cursor or selector appears This allows you to edit these two figures. What appears is a button in the upper right part of the sharing card that, when pressed, activates the sharing of the video precisely from that position. It appears in the screenshots obtained by 9to5Google and thus allows you to indicate very easily that you want to share the video in this way.
Of course, always you can change the last part of the url to change the minutes and seconds digits to “&t=1m30s”, although with the new option it is easy to access this timeline and share it immediately.
This new feature is available since the last update of the Google Play Store on Android in Europe; although in EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre. If it does not exist, it is recommended to clear the application cache, close it from recent applications and restart it according to Android Authority.
