How to play a youtube video from a specific second to another specific second?

I know there are start and end url query params when you share the link for a youtube video so the video starts and ends at those seconds.

I want to do the same with javascript using the Youtube Iframe Player API. I know there is the method player.getCurrentTime() that returns the elapsed time in seconds since the video started playing.

There is no event fired when the current time changes.

Not sure what kind of answer you need,

But here is two examples:

  1. Simple IFrame from youtube share

    https://www.youtube.com/embed/YourVideoID?start=startSeconds&end=EndSeconds

  2. IFrame API: you can check out IFrame API Docs here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference

From there you can see that you can load video from id using Argument Syntax or Object syntax

I prefer using objects. But here is both:

Argument Syntax

player.loadVideoById(videoId: String,
                     startSeconds: Number): Void

Object Syntax

player.loadVideoById({ videoId: String,
                       startSeconds: Number,
                       endSeconds: Number}): Void

You can also try it out from the example tab: https://developers.google.com/youtube/youtube_player_demo

Your question is not really clear so if something is missing please reply and I will be happy to edit my answer.
