You seem to be adding spaces into the youtube shortcode that do not belong there. http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/#embedding-with-a-shortcode

[youtube=URL HERE&start=NUMBER HERE]

Thanks timethief! Is there a way that we can suggest to staff that they add the information regarding start times in the shortcode to that support article?

youtube shortcode embeds a YouTube video. » Full instructions

You can do that.

To make a Youtube video start from a specific point, you write the shortcode this way:

[youtube=URL HERE&start=NUMBER HERE]

(Number = how many seconds from beginning of video.)

Hi! YouTube doesn't give us an easy to generate this embed code. Here's a link to post that has a turorial http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/start-youtube-video-minutes-seconds/

Or, try this code based on the link you gave:

I tested this code on my blog and it began playing at 1:50 as you reqested. Your best bet will be to paste this into the text editor, not the visual editor.

Basically, all I did was to add &start=110 to the embed code from YouTube, meaning I went to the video, clicked share then embed. This will not work using the WordPress.com oEmbed by just pasting in the URL.

Let me know how it turns out!
