From PC Mag: YouTube is making it easier to share video links using a specific timestamp from the Android app. It's not as simple as tapping the "Share" button, though. As Android Police reports, folks can only distribute timestamps corresponding to the start of a new chapter, assuming the creator has added chapters to a video.
A popular way of skipping to a video's most relevant segments, chapters are currently added by the content creator. Desktop users have long been able to share timestamped video links with friends—a feature previously excluded from YouTube's mobile apps.
Android is now introducing the option, but it remains quite limited. If you do want to share a video with chapters, tap the progress bar to expand and scroll through chapter titles. Click the "share" arrow next to each one to send it through a third-party app or copy the link to paste elsewhere. Android Police successfully tested the function with version 16.24.33 of the YouTube app, but suggested it may work with previous versions from as far back as May.
