by

YouTube has a huge collection of some very interesting and useful videos, and sometimes we may find some videos interesting and wish to share them with our near and dear ones. There are a lot of tools for saving, sharing videos from the most popular video-sharing website. But what if we liked only a certain part of the video and the rest is just doesn’t worth sharing it, we cannot waste our time just to download it, cut or trim it using a video editor, and then share it, it takes a lot of our time. But don’t worry, there is another simple process using which we can simply share and bookmark the specific part of the video.

Learn How To Share A Specific Part Of A YouTube Video

  •  You should enable a Chrome extension called YouTube Bookmarker and it enables you to just create multiple bookmarks in a single video
  • Just go to Chrome web store and search for it
  • Download it and enable it
  • Now when you open the video in the website you will see a bookmark option below the video, just click on it and you will see a window open to the right of the video, just set the timings there and give it a name and click on save and if you want to share a specific part of the video, then follow these steps
  • First, you need to copy the string of numbers and letters you find after ‘watch?v=’ in the URL of the video you would like to share Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-UMX5sVDKQ, just copy the highlighted part
  • Now you need to incorporate that thing in this new embed URL
    https://www.youtube.com/embed/_-UMX5sVDKQ?start=60&end=70
  • Every sharing URL consists this common part https://www.youtube.com/embed/
  • After that comes the copied part of the video you would like to share
  • Then comes a ‘?’ followed by ‘start=specific time&end-specific time’

After you are done with creating the URL just share it with the ones you want, you may find this process a little critical, but you can give it a try if you think the certain part of the video is worth sharing. You will get used to it with time.

Some people prefer reading articles at some intervals. There are some awesome applications like Pocket available to save/bookmark the articles offline, but until there is a way to mark our reading progress that doesn’t seem to be good.

New stuff to read is always welcome, but the problem is that there’s just too much stuff to read these days, and our attention is fighting a losing battle.

There is a chrome extension which serves that purpose called Markticle. It helps the users to return to the exact same position in the article that they are previously reading.

  • Just go to the Chrome Webstore and install the chrome extension You can find the icon of the extension on the right of the screen along with the other extensions in the Google Chrome.
  • Now you have to sign up in the app using your credentials.
  • Now open the article that you would like to bookmark, then select a part of the text in that article to mark.
  • Now press the ‘M’ key on your keyboard or just right click and then select add to mark.
  • Finally, you can add some descriptive tags or notes to the article that you are saving to read later.
  • All your marks will be saved to your online account and you can easily access them by clicking on the extension’s icon in the browser.
  • You can click on the saved marks to start reading the article from where you have stopped earlier.

You can even delete them by just clicking on the ‘X’ icon on the saved mark.
