Play just the part of a YouTube video you need

This YouTube clip maker turns any YouTube video into a short clip link. Set a start and end time and the video plays only that part, then stops, with no suggested videos afterwards. Share the link with students or paste the embed code into your slides, LMS or website. It is free and needs no account.

In the classroom

Ways teachers use YouTube clips

A clip keeps the class on the two minutes that matter, instead of scrubbing through a twenty minute video.

Lesson hooksOpen with the one scene that sets up the topic, without the intro or sponsor read.
Homework and flipped lessonsSend students a link that plays only the section you want them to watch.
Safer playbackNo suggested videos at the end, so a clip does not lead students somewhere else.
Slides and LMS pagesPaste the embed code and the clip plays inside your page.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the YouTube clip maker free?+

Yes. It is free with no account and no limit on how many clips you make.

Does this download the video?+

No. The clip plays from YouTube itself, so it always follows YouTube’s rules and the creator keeps their views.

Will students see ads or suggested videos?+

The clip link turns off suggested videos from other channels when the clip ends. YouTube may still show ads on some videos.

Does it work with Shorts and live streams?+

Yes. Links to Shorts, past live streams and youtu.be share links all work.

Can I put the clip in Google Slides or my LMS?+

Copy the embed code for websites and LMS pages. In Google Slides, insert the video and set the same start and end times there.

Why does a video not play?+

Some creators turn off embedding, and age restricted or private videos cannot play outside YouTube.

Is my link saved?+
