YouTube supports a &t= (or ?t=) parameter in the URL, expressed in seconds, that tells the player to start at that point when the link is opened.

See a live search-result preview and get warned before your title gets cut off.

Check your description against the ~150-character preview cutoff and 5,000-character limit.

Turn a title or keyword list into a clean, comma-separated tag list under the 500-character limit.
