Since YouTube on my Android device has nowhere to input the URL, I cannot jump to a specific time to view it.

How to do that easily? Dragging the player carrot is very hard to make a accurate jump especially for long clip

What if you browse YouTube on the browser? – geffchang Dec 28 '12 at 15:05

Well, you can't do that in the YouTube app. I tried some third party apps as well and nothing came up. In addition, the YouTube app's website also tells you to ...slide the scrubber below the video to jump to a different part of the video...

So I guess the only option for you is to use your browser to view videos.

Hope this helps.

So boring ^^ For now with big video I will have difficulty to open the part I want to watch. Sliding by our thumb/finger may never get to the point we want it to – Nam G. VU Dec 28 '12 at 19:15

@NamG.VU Actually it is not that hard. In vertical orientation, go near a place where you want to jump to and slide to the time needed without releasing it. (e.g. to jump to 10:28, press near 10:20 or so and slide till you see 10:28) – Sid Dec 29 '12 at 2:51
The problem of big video is a "small move of fingef to the right" is equal to minutes not seconds as you are saying – Nam G. VU Dec 29 '12 at 6:44
well, Tue answer still stands. seems this is something you have to live with. And like I said, you can always use your browser to view the videos. :D – Sid Dec 29 '12 at 8:11
