True Video Start Autor: Mario_YouInTown

Tired of sitting through 2-minute intros before a YouTube video actually starts? True Video Start lets the community mark the real beginning of any video — and gets you there instantly.

How it works

A pencil icon appears in the YouTube toolbar whenever you watch a video
Click it to see the community-set start time, or set one yourself
Once a time is set, a skip button appears — click it to jump straight there
Optionally enable auto-jump so it skips the intro automatically on every load
Crowdsourced
Start times are shared across all users. Set it once, and everyone with the extension benefits.

Privacy
No accounts. No personal data collected. Only anonymous video start times are stored.
