Abstract
A computing device that provides access to digital media items receives a command from an entity to share a digital media item. The computing device invokes a graphical user interface for sharing the digital media item in response to receiving the command. The computing device determines a start time to apply to the digital media item based on input received via the graphical user interface. The computing device then generates a link or embed code to the digital media item, the link or embed code identifying the start time, wherein accessing the link or embed code causes the digital media item to be presented from the start time.
