Share sections of Youtube videos.
Advantages over YouTube Clip feature:
- There is no need to have a YouTube creator (google) account and to be logged in to create a clip.
- There is no 5-60 seconds restriction on clip duration. The clip can be as short or long as you like.
Disadvantages:
- Does not work if the creator has deactivated embedding for the video.
Limitations:
- Does not work on Premiere and Live videos.
Get it on Chrome Web Store.
This extension adds an "End at" checkbox and input under the "Start at" one in the Share dialog under the YouTube video.
This way you can get a link to a section of the YouTube video, by selecting the "Start at" and "End at" times.
Click the Share button which can be found under the video.
Set Start and End times.
Copy the generated URL. This is a link to the same video which will start and stop at the times you have selected.
