I embedded a video yesterday with a start timestamp and it worked

Did they change the params or something?

I have YT embed support in Tesseract, and videos with timestamps broke a few weeks ago (they all start at 0 now). I've tried both t= and start= formats: neither worked.

You can still link to the YT video directly with those, though, but I've been unable to get embeds to honor them.

't=' works for me, but I'm just right clicking and getting it manually to put in docs.

Hmm. Like a Word doc? Maybe it's just embeds (with timestamps) on other websites that are broken?

I tried using the embed URLs directly in a browser tab, and those refuse to play at all (they still work embedded, though).

Definitely something that changed in the last few weeks. The test posts I had are from months ago and worked then.

Ya on second thought, I don't think I'm using embedding in the best way and what I'm saying isn't really related to that. I'm not actually embedding anything.
