You can start watching a YouTube video from a specific time by adding "#t=XmYs" to the URL, where X is the minute and Y is the second from where you want the video to start.

For example, if you want to start playing the following video from the 5th second

Code:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkqIZvsjn2I

just add "#t=0m5s" to the URL:

Code:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkqIZvsjn2I#t=0m5s

Alternatively you can use YouTubeTime, a web-site that allows you to enter a YouTube URL, minutes and second to start playing from a specific time.

Note that you can use the same trick to link to a specific moment in a video. Just add "#t=XmYs" to a YouTube URL replacing X with the number of minutes and Y with the number of seconds.
