YouTube Tip
Ever wished you could take people to a specific part of a YouTube video,
perhaps in an email or FB post?
Now you can; see it in the video below
where you'll jump past the 15-second intro
right to the first section called
"Milo on The Power of Stories."
How do you do it? First, there are two formats for YouTube
video URLs.
-
If I have the shorter link style
(the one with "youtu.be" in it),
to
start 2 min 32 sec in, I'd
add at the end: ?t=2m32s
-
For the longer "www" style link,
to start the video 1 min 52 sec in,
I'd
add at the end:
&t=1m52s
It's just an "&" instead of
"?" on the longer one. See it in action:
So, for example, on my long-named
YouTube video above
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6GNjl1VCHo ,
I added the
extra eight characters, setting the link to:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6GNjl1VCHo&t=0m15s
Likewise, on my short-named YouTube video
https://youtu.be/ZSGQ1vtTSx0
,
I can take you 36 seconds in
— past the part where we'd gotten about
20 audience
suggestions for the improvised song and the singing
starts just a few seconds later:

Public Speaking Tip of the
Day
Besides giving a feeling of
connectedness, there's another reason to
make good eye contact with your audience:
nerves! I often hear in my coaching
practice, "I'm okay with one or two people;
it's when there's a whole lot that I seem to
fall apart!"
For many, addressing that sea of faces is intimidating. But
when we connect with just one person for five to ten seconds, perhaps getting
a nod or a smile from them, it reminds us that we ARE addressing each
person individually... and this one man just represents them. And
then, just that one woman. And then this other woman. And so
on.
While it might seem like you're ignoring the bulk of the room doing
that, experience shows that the room actually feel more connected to you
when they see you genuinely related to one of them rather
than trying to cover everyone the whole time.
One of the many tips in
"Public
Speaking:
Get A's, Not Zzzzzz's!"
Or my Amazon #2
BestSeller for the next generation:
Today's Humor
Morty is turning 90 today, so his buddies chip in to send him a lady
of the evening.
Around 6pm, "Amber" rings his doorbell and Morty is surprised to see
the pretty young woman there.
"Hi!" Amber says. "I'm here to give you super sex!"
Morty thinks for a minute and says, "I'll take the soup."
(If you don't get it, read Amber's line aloud slowly.)
A Final Thought for Today
In teambuilding, it's not about winning; it's about
fully participating.
"Success is not final; failure is not
fatal:
It is the courage to continue that
counts."
— Winston
Churchill
