Clickable Timestamps let you share direct links to specific moments in your videos. Instead of telling someone “skip to the 3 minute mark,” you can copy a link that opens the video at exactly the right spot and it starts playing automatically. Whether you’re pointing a student to a key section of a Course lesson or sharing a Coaching session highlight with a client, Clickable Timestamps make it easy to link directly to the moment that matters.

Copy timestamp URL

  • Dropping a link in a message or email that takes someone directly to the relevant part

  • Sharing a specific moment from a Coaching session recording with a client
  • Including a visual callout in an email that links to a key part of a Course lesson
  • Pasting into notes, documents, or team chats where a visual preview adds context
