Link to specific position in a video

Hi there at Laracasts,

We love your videos and the way how you explain things!

Since we are busy building a Laravel application, we often look for best practices or simply try to understand the philosophy behind framework. Among our team we often like to put links to the specific video on laracasts that helped us to understand things in the comments of the source code, so when we come back later to review, refactor or cleanup the code, we can remember why we did things like this or that.

At the moment we write the position in the video that refers to our specific problem as text in the comment. Would it be possible, to refer to that position directly in the link to video?

Thanks again and have a nice day :)

Harry.

Here is an example of how you can do this

https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-11/episodes/1#t=2m10s

At the end you can see that I've added #t=2m10s

When opening this link it will set the time position of the video to 2minutes and 10seconds

Laracasts uses Vimeo as video player, via this link you can view the article from their help center about this https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/articles/12425821012497-Start-playback-at-a-specific-timecode#:~:text=This%20opens%20in%20a%20new%20window.&text=To%20share%20a%20video%20link,d%20like%20playback%20to%20begin.
