To set the start and end times, you need to type in the following parameters in the embed URL. For example, if we want the Youtube video to start at 10 seconds in the PPT and end at 50 seconds, simply paste the following code into the embedded code.

?start=10&end=30

You can also change the time intervals in the above code as per your preferences. If the desired start and end times are in minutes, simply multiply the time by 60 in the code. For example, if the desired start time is 3 minutes and the end time is 5 minutes, then simply put 180(3×60) and 300(5×60) in the code.

Method II
