Add ?t=90 (or &t=90 if the URL already has query parameters) to the end of the YouTube URL, where 90 is the number of seconds from the start. This tool builds that link for you automatically — just paste the URL and enter the time.
Shorts do not honor start-time parameters — they always play from the beginning. Timestamp links work on regular watch URLs (youtube.com/watch?v=...) and youtu.be short links, including inside embeds.
