Share a zoom record at a special timing

[maylis]

Hello,

Is it possible to get a link on a zoom record that will start at a specific timing?
Like it is possible on wistia with the wtime option or in Vimeo with the #t option or in Youtube ?

I have the record link, and I'd like that when people will open the link, it will start at a specific time (for exemple at 7'30 and not at the beginning).

Thanks for any help.

Hey @maylis 

Unfortunately, Zoom cloud recording links do not currently support starting playback at a specific timestamp in the same way YouTube links do.

Here are two workaround/ alternate solutions you might find helpful:

• Trimming the Playback Range: For cloud recordings you host, you can trim the playback range so that the video viewed online only starts at your desired time and ends at another specified time. When sharing the link, viewers will only see the trimmed portion. If you allow viewers to download the recording, they may still download the entire original file.

• Audio Transcripts/Smart Chapters: If audio transcription is enabled for your cloud recording, viewers can click on a section of the transcript or use Smart Chapters (if available) to jump to that point in the video. While this isn't a direct link, it allows for navigation to key moments.

If you require this specific functionality, your best option may be to download the Zoom recording and upload it to a platform like YouTube or Vimeo, which support timestamped links.
