The YouTube Iframe Timestamps Plugin is a fantastic addition for Obsidian users who work with video content and need efficient referencing. This plugin allows you to embed YouTube videos directly in your notes with specific timestamps, making it easy to jump to key moments without ever leaving Obsidian. Especially useful for students, researchers, and video-driven workflows, it keeps you focused by embedding the video within your note-taking environment. To use, simply paste YouTube links with timestamps, and the plugin handles the rest, letting you click through to precise moments in the video. Note that it currently works in Source mode, so switching your default editing mode might be helpful for a smoother experience.
