YouTube is rolling out a new way to share videos on mobile, while phasing out one of its existing features.

YouTube is making some changes that might affect how you share videos from the mobile app. From the app, you can finally share videos from a specific timestamp, which will make it easier to point someone to a part of a video you might want them to see while you’re on your phone.
