Just accidentally learned a new you tube trick
take a you tube link like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb5aq5HcS1A
add &t= then the number of seconds you want the video to start playing at for example 180 = 3 minutes like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb5aq5HcS1A&t=180
presto, video starts playing at 3 minutes
Now, I know who to avoid opening videos from.
