  hi,
  within YouTube itself, you can reference a point in the video via time-stamp 3:15 and clicking the time-stamp takes the user to the point in the video within YouTube.

  i would like to be able to time-stamp a certain point in an embedded YouTube video WITHIN WordPress.

  see this https://beliefpatrol.wordpress.com/2014/12/28/rupert-spira-the-creation-of-feelings/

  the hypertext 4:57 link opens the video at the time-stamp on YouTube’s site.

  i would like to be able to somehow have the user click the ‘4:57’ and then take the user to the embedded video WITHIN WordPress.

  i know what code i need to have a Youtube video open at a certain time-stamp.

  i know how to embed a video at certain time stamps.

  but i do NOT know how to have the time stamp link open WITHIN the embedded WordPress video.

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Please see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/#video-customization-options

  To start at a certain point in the video, convert the time of that point from minutes and seconds to all seconds, then add that number as shown (using an example start point of 1 minute 15 seconds):
