04 Mar How to Create and Share Clips of YouTube Videos
Over the years there have been many third-party tools that offered ways to clip and share portions of YouTube videos. Most of those don’t last too long before Google/ YouTube changes something that renders those tools useless. Now YouTube offers its own integrated tool for creating and sharing short clips of videos.
You’ll find YouTube’s clipping tool directly under the title (next to the share button) of the video you’re viewing. Click that clip button and you can select a 15 to 60 second segment of the video. Once you’ve selected a clip, you can share that clip via the URL that YouTube provides for it. The clip will play on a loop wherever you share it including when you embed it into website.
