Share a specific link

How do I email a reader a specific video on a web page full of videos? For example. I want to share the video Daniel 9 by Skip Heitzig which is on this web page: https://lean-into-god.com/Scripture/September/Sept-17.html If I send the web page link they are presented with many videos and if they are on a phone they must do a lot of scrolling to find that video. Isn't there some code I can use so when they click on the link I email or text them it will lead directly to this video and not to the whole web page? Hope this makes sense. I get asked to do this a lot, but I do not know how. Thank you. Rick

Occam's razor -- The simplest way is usually the right one.

Given that your video is already posted on YouTube, just send your friend the link to YouTube. EZ PZ 😁

Thank you Nacy for taking the time to reply, but often it is a link to Vimeo or an article I want to share.

Regardless, the same applies to all content hosted on Vimeo, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, news outlets, etc... You send recipients a direct link to the source containing the content you want to share.

Example: Supermoon Lunar Eclipse Tonight. See link below for details.

Give each video a unique html ID and link to that by adding it to the end of the URL in your <a> tag.

So, using what you have now...

<span class="scripture">Daniel 7:1</span>

...could be turned into...

<span class="scripture" id="daniel-7-1">Daniel 7:1</span>

...then at the end of the URL you want to give out, you would add the suffix of #daniel-7-1

That <span> tag would be the first thing at the top of the viewer's browser (as long as there's enough room below it to put it there). Just make sure each html id is unique to each passage.

Jon, thank you and I see the logic of what you wrote so I tried it on a Vimeo video and it did not work. Sorry for being so slow and as I get older I get slower yet.

So I want to share a Vimeo video from this page.
https://lean-into-god.com/Scripture/September/Sept-16.html

I want to share the first video (Vimeo), An Old Man's Thoughts. So I entered
<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1009715328?badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write" title="Old Man Thoughts"></iframe>id="Old Man"

I added id="Old Man" to the end of the url and it did not work.

By the way, the reason I can not share Vimeo videos on my website the way Nancy said for YouTube is because my Vimeo videos can only be seen on my website. Sorry for the mess below. I tried to delete it, but ...

Here is the Direct Link on Vimeo

No <iframe> required.

https://player.vimeo.com/video/1009715328?badge=0&autopause=0&app_id=58479

Owing to its protection status, this video won't play on other websites. You must direct users directly to Vimeo's website.

Hope that makes sense.
