Skip to Timestamp allows two ways of generating links in your posts that automatically skip to a given time
in an embedded media element. You’ve seen it in the Youtube descriptions, now get it in your embeds!

To create a link, either:

  • Use our [skipto] shortcode which takes a “time” (or “timestamp” or “ts”) argument and uses that to create a link.
    Eg, “Just wait until…or…hold on, you can [skipto time=4:30]skip to[/skipto] this part of the video!”
  • Check the “Replace Timestamps Automatically” checkbox in the Settings > Skip to Timestamp, and watch as all your
    timestamps in the form “4:30” or “1:23:45” are automatically converted into links.

The links search for and skip to a time in:

  • Youtube videos embedded using WordPress embeds. Make sure you’re just pasting in the Youtube video link into your post editor and let WordPress embed things for you to ensure that the correct player is inserted into your post.
  • HTML5 <audio> elements. Jetpack, Blubrry Powerpress and other plugins do this automatically using the shortcode.
  • HTML5 <video> elements. Jetpack and other plugins do this automatically using the shortcode.
