let's go back to the video page and then click share and embed now to the time at which you want to start the video so I want to start my video at one minute 30 seconds and once you have selected the time enable this option which says start at and then enter the time which you have chosen so I'm going to enter one minute and 30 seconds so once you have entered the time here you can see that your

seconds now to end the video at this point just go to your website and click Edit post and you can see that we have the start time here now let's place the cursor here and now to add your end time just type semicolon END equals same time which you have on the notepad so I'm going to enter 520 here and now we have successfully added the start and end time so let see how it looks we'll click update and then click view post now if I click play you can see that the video has a start and end time and the video automatically starts playing at 1 minute 30 seconds and when it reaches the end time it'll stop playing so this is how you can show a specific part of a video to your visitor so now you know how you can highlight a specific part of your video next let's seehow we can add a video
