    Hi Mike Gray - This is already actually supported in Stream today.

     

    You can add a time code in a comment under a video or even add a time code in the description of the video. When you hit save/post we'll turn that time code into a clickable link that will jump the video to that point in time. Time codes in comments are great for the scenario you described, and time codes in descriptions are great for building a simple table of contents to direct users to interesting points in the video.

     

    Just type in the time code as: HH:MM:SS

    Examples:

    0:32  - jump to 32 seconds

    1:43 - jump to 1 min and 42 seconds

    1:03:21 - jump to 1 hour, 3 min, and 21 seconds.
