Media Timestamp

This tool is designed to help you create precise timestamps for media content available on jw.org^® and JW Library^® app. By specifying a start and end time for a video or audio file, you can highlight a particular segment of the content. The tool will generate a URL that incorporates these timestamps. When the URL is accessed, it will open the exact portion of the media you selected, making it easier to focus on a specific part of the video or audio content for use on personal study, link sharing, or any other theocratic activities.

How to Use

Follow these basic steps to use this tool:

1. Go to the Video or Audio Library on jw.org^® and select the media content for which you want to create a timestamp.
2. Paste the valid share link URL of the media content into the input field.
3. Enter the timestamp in the corresponding input boxes. The time is divided into hours, minutes, and seconds.
4. To set a start time for the media, enter the start timestamp in the input boxes. If you want to use "0" as the time or do not want to set a start time, simply leave it empty.
5. To set an end time for the media, enter the end timestamp in the input boxes. If you want to use "0" as the time or do not want to set an end time, simply leave it empty.
6. Click the Submit button to generate the URL with the timestamp.
7. Once the URL is generated, you can copy it or click on it to open the content on jw.org^® or in the JW Library^® app.

Limitations

Timestamps added to non-media content or exceeding the media content's duration will be ignored by the website. Timestamps will only work through online streaming on our official website and in our apps; they do not work with downloaded media. Timestamps for written articles with media will only work on our official website; they do not work in our apps.

This tool has limited compatibility with the following publications:

1. "Sing Out Joyfully" to Jehovah
2. Original Songs
3. Children's Songs

These publications have designated media timestamps that are incompatible with this tool. If you need to create custom timestamps for these publications, please use the Video Library or Audio Library to obtain the share link and access them as media items using JW Library^®, not as publications or on jw.org^®. Sing to Jehovah is compatible with this tool.
