## Seek to a specific time on page load

Want to show a client a particular clip in a video? Just add a `start` 
parameter to the query string and specify the position to seek to (in seconds).

For example, if you have a video located at 
`http://myaccount.wistia.com/medias/123` and you want it to start playing at 
the 1 minute and 30 second mark, you'd link to the URL:
	
<pre><code class="language-vim">http://myaccount.wistia.com/medias/123?start=90</code></pre>

{{ "This only works for videos within your Wistia account. To seek into embedded videos, use the <a href='http://wistia.com/doc/player-api'>JavaScript player API</a>." | note }}

## Force Playback in HTML5

If you'd like to test how your video is playing in HTML5, you can add the 
`html5=true` query string parameter to your media URL.

For example:

<pre><code class="language-vim">
http://myaccount.wistia.com/medias/12345?html5=true
</code></pre>
