  I am trying to paste in a Youtube video but have the video start at 11m 21sec into the video. Youtube allows you to do that with a customized URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFy7372okfI&feature=youtu.be&t=11m21s

  But when I paste this into WordPress, it starts the video at the beginning, rather than 11m 21sec into the video. What can I do?

  for reference:
  To make a Youtube video start from a specific point, you write the shortcode this way:
  [youtube=URL HERE&start=NUMBER HERE]

  (Number = how many seconds from beginning of video.)

  Hello, It is really working … I mean parametr &start=seconds, but I have an other question … Is there … end parameter, in YouTube to isolate a certain part of make a video shorter ?
