I am doing a Powerpoint presentation where I need a 30ish second clip. I have tried so many codes to get this YouTube video to stop playing but nothing seems to work. I'm using Office 365, with the newest version of PPT. Here is the video and I need it to start at 159 and stop at 185. I have tried ?start=158&end=185 to no avail! I've tried other variations. It starts fine but won't stop! //www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hHdoOxs_LQ........

I don't have PowerPoint for create a sample, but, you can try and embed the video in your PowerPoint presentation as follows:
//www.youtube.com/embed/3hHdoOxs_LQ?start=159&end=185&autoplay=1

I tried this link in my broswer (Google Chrome) and it works.
It should embed the video and play the video at the given start and end time.

This feature has now been around for quite a while, but it’s not that well known. Also it can be hard to find information about it online as people often call it deep linking – which
makes sense if you know the jargon but isn’t the sort of phrase you’d otherwise guess is the one to look for. So here’s how to create a link to a YouTube film which, rather than start playing at the start of the film, will start playing at a specific moment part way through the YouTube film: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4L0pWUNp08#t=0m39s As you can see, it’s really very simple
– the YouTube web address and then two variables, to select which film you want and at what specific time in the film you want it to start: o4L0pWUNp08 – which is the unique reference code for the video. If you are watching a film on its own page on YouTube, you’ll find this in the URL (address bar). If you are, say, viewing the film on a channel page, click on the “View comments, related videos and more” link underneath the video and this will bring up the clip’s own
YouTube page. 0m39s – which is the starting time; in this case it means start playing 0 minutes and 39 seconds in to the film. In the five years since I first published this post, it’s been a regular favourite in search traffic to this site. So here’s an extra related point which can also be hard to find the answer to online and which PowerPoint does not give you hints about how to do. Q.
How do I embed a YouTube video in a PowerPoint presentation so that it starts at a certain time?Embedding YouTube in PowerPoint to start at a particular time
Have you ever wanted to show students just part of a YouTube video but had difficulty finding the start of the clip? Or maybe you have linked to a YouTube video in your Blackboard module and had to explain to students to just start watching from a certain point and to stop watching x minutes later? There is a simple way to make this easier on both staff and
students. It is done by amending the link (also known as a URL) that you give to students. Instead of giving students a YouTube URL like the one below, which will play the video from the start to end: You should copy the URL YouTube makes available inside the embed code for the video and add a question mark followed by a start and stop time, like so: It is also worth noting that the video automatically fills the browser window when using this
method. Which means your students are less likely to be distracted by other YouTube content. To find the link in the embed code take the following steps: To the end of the link add a question mark and your chosen start and stop times in seconds, as seen below. Enter the start and stop times in whole seconds (e.g. one minute and two seconds = 62 seconds) and make sure not to include any additional characters or spaces or it will not work. Once you have amended the URL send it to your students in the usual way. Follow @FETLIUFinding the link in the embed code
