To share multiple parts of a YouTube video as one link, mark each moment as a clip in a single mix, then share the mix link. Set an in and out point for the first moment, another pair for the next, and so on. Click Share and you get one link that plays all of them back-to-back, in order, with transitions between them. The recipient clicks once. It's free for up to three clips from one video, with no account.
That's the short answer. The longer one is that this is the job YouTube never did. You could share one moment, awkwardly, with the old Clips feature, but you could never sequence several into a single playable link. The workaround was pasting a list of timestamps and asking people to click through them. This post shows the actual workflow, where the free tier ends and Pro begins, and the one constraint that keeps it honest.
The problem with a list of timestamps
Say you want to share the five best moments from a two-hour podcast. The old way:
0:14:22 the bit about pricing
0:41:08 the cold-open callback
1:03:55 the unhinged tangent
1:28:30 the actual answer
1:52:11 the sign-off
Five links, or five timestamps in a comment. The recipient clicks the first, watches, scrolls back to your message, clicks the second, and usually gives up by the third. The moments aren't connected. There's no single thing to share onward, nothing to embed, no card that unfurls. The sequence lives in your message, not in the artifact.
What you actually want is one link that plays all five in a row. That's a mix.
The workflow
Segue builds this in the browser. The loop:
1. Paste the YouTube URL. Open the studio at /studio and paste a public URL. The video loads in a player that streams straight from YouTube. No install, no account to start.
2. Mark the first moment. Drag the playhead to its start, click Set in, scrub to its end, click Set out. That's clip one.
3. Mark each additional moment. Set another in and out point for the next moment. Each pair adds a clip to the same mix. Keep going for every moment you want in the sequence.
4. Reorder if needed. Drag clips on the timeline to set the play order. The mix runs top to bottom, so ordering is just dragging. Trim any clip's endpoints after the fact; the link updates to match.
5. Share one link. Click Share. The studio generates a /m/<slug> link that plays every clip back-to-back in one viewer, with transitions between them. Paste it into Discord, X, Slack, Substack, or email. One click, the whole sequence.
Nothing is rendered or exported. The link is a description of which clips to play and in what order; the clips stream from YouTube when someone opens it. So editing the sequence is instant, and there's no file to manage.
Where free ends and Pro begins
The split is about how many videos the clips come from.
One video, up to three clips: free. A best-of from a single long interview, three answers from one talk, the setup-and-punchline from one episode. No account, no watermark, five of the fourteen transition presets.
Multiple videos on the same channel: Pro. This is the part that makes Segue different. On the Pro tier, paste a second URL from the same YouTube channel and its clips join the same mix, with smooth transitions between sources. Now your best-of can span five episodes of the same podcast, not just five moments in one. Pro is $5/month or $29/year and unlocks unlimited clips, all fourteen transitions, and clean short links. Pro Lifetime ($59 one-time, capped at the first 500 buyers or Sept 8, 2026) is the launch-window option. Full detail on the pricing page.
The one constraint: same channel
Multi-video mixing is scoped to a single YouTube channel. You can chain clips across many videos, as long as they all belong to the same channel. You can't mix clips from different channels into one link.
This is deliberate, not a missing feature. Same-channel curation is honest: a best-of across one podcast's episodes, a highlight reel from one creator's season, the top moments from one show. It sits cleanly inside the territory creators are fine with, because every view still flows back to their channel. Cross-creator aggregation is a different thing, and the tools that allow it tend to attract takedowns. Segue stays on the curation side of that line on purpose. The reasoning is laid out in full in the YouTube Clips head-to-head.
If your moments are all from one channel, that constraint never gets in your way. A podcast is one channel. A creator's catalogue is one channel. A show is one channel. The named unit you're clipping (episode, talk, sermon) almost always lives under a single channel already. And if that channel is your own, the constraint turns into a perfect fit: see making a best-of reel from your own YouTube channel for the channel-owner workflow.
How it compares
| Approach | One link? | Plays back-to-back? | Across videos? | View credits creator? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| List of timestamp links | No (one per moment) | No | Yes, but disconnected | Yes |
| Re-uploaded compilation (download + edit) | Yes (your hosted file) | Yes | Yes (any source) | No |
| Segue mix | Yes (/m/<slug>) |
Yes | Yes (same channel) | Yes |
The re-uploaded compilation is the only other way to get a single back-to-back link, and it costs the creator's view credit plus the editing time, and it raises the attribution questions a re-host always raises. The Segue mix keeps every view with the source channel because each clip streams through YouTube's own player. The trade is the same-channel scope and the dependence on the source staying public.
Make a chain free
If you've ever pasted a list of timestamps and watched people click through half of them, the single-link version is the fix. Open the studio, mark a few moments, share one link. Free for up to three clips on one video; Pro to chain across a channel.
Skip the comparison shopping.
Open Segue, paste a YouTube URL, set in and out points, share one link. Free tier, no account.
Frequently asked questions
How do I share multiple parts of a YouTube video as one link?
Mark each moment as a clip in one mix, then share the mix link. Open Segue's studio, paste the video URL, and set an in and out point for the first moment. Set another in and out point for the next moment, and so on. Each becomes a clip in the same mix. Click Share and you get one /m/<slug> link that plays all the clips back-to-back, in order, with transitions between them. The recipient clicks once. The free tier handles up to three clips from a single video with no account.
Can I chain clips from different videos into one link?
Yes, as long as the videos are from the same YouTube channel. That's the Pro feature: paste a second URL from the same channel and its clips join the same mix, with smooth transitions between sources. The same-channel limit is deliberate. It keeps the workflow on honest curation (a podcast best-of across episodes, a season highlight reel) rather than cross-creator aggregation, which is the kind of thing that gets clipping operations cease-and-desisted. Clips from unrelated channels can't be mixed.
How is this different from posting a few timestamp links?
A string of timestamp links makes the recipient click each one, watch, come back, and click the next. The moments aren't connected, and there's no single thing to share or embed. Chaining them into one mix gives you a single link that plays every moment in order, with transitions, in one viewer. It unfurls as one playable card instead of a wall of links, and views still count for the creator because every clip streams from YouTube. YouTube never offered this; the timestamp-list workaround was the closest anyone could get.
Can I reorder the clips?
Yes. In the studio, drag clips on the timeline to change their order before you share. The mix plays them top to bottom, so reordering is just dragging. You can also trim each clip's in and out points after adding it, add a clip in the middle, or remove one, and the share link updates to match. Nothing is rendered or exported, so editing the sequence is instant.
Do the clips have to be in the same video?
On the free tier, yes: up to three clips from one video. To chain clips from more than one video, you need Pro, and the videos must belong to the same YouTube channel. So a best-of from a single long interview is free; a best-of across five episodes of the same podcast is a Pro mix. There is no mode that mixes clips from different channels, by design.
Does each clip still count as a view for the creator?
Yes, provided embedding is enabled on the source videos. Every clip in the mix streams through YouTube's player, so each play registers against the source the same as a normal embed, with the same watch-time and analytics credit. Chaining moments into one link doesn't change that; it just sequences several embed views into one viewing experience. If a source video has embedding disabled, that clip can't play here, the same as in any embed-based tool.
