HI  @ldfcastaneda  Welcome to the Canvas Community.

Just embedding a video won't let you land at a certain point in the video. However, being explicit with your instructions to start at a certain time point might help.

I think that some LTIs have the facility to do this for you though eg. Panopto and Studio. Perhaps they are worth a look at? 

Sing out if you need a hand.

This answer did not help at all.  I need a code to add into the embed code for specific start and end times for you tube video.  I can get the start time, but the code for the end time does not stop the video.  Here is what I am using   start=47&end=1027  I have also tried start=47;end=1027.  Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

@ChrystalH ...

Are you wanting the video to start playing at 47 seconds and then stop playing at 10 minutes and 27 seconds (10:27)?  If so, your calculations are incorrect for the end time.  Instead of 1027, you'll need to use 627 ... which is:

60 seconds * 10 minutes = 600 seconds

600 + 27 seconds = 627

The 1027 that you specified would actually calculate to just over 17 minutes...which may be why your video was still playing for more time than you wanted.

Hope this helps!
