Basically like YouTube does, we want that as well. Loading such a page would immediately jump to the specified timestamp in the video. I would try to not "naturally generated" these links though. Instead, you would only get such a link when explicitly using a UI element to "set a time" or if you manually edit the link. That's different from YouTube where sometimes (e.g. when you started a video before) the link already contains the timestamp. That leads to me always asking friends "is the timestamp intentional" when they send me videos with timestamp in it. And roughly half of the time it isn't!

Would this only be supported on the video page or do we wanna be clever about video blocks as well? 🤔

Video Pages only for now? I can't think of a nice way how to make it work within realm pages. Adding a second video block then breaks stuff? Naaah

Add "start at:" option to share menu (#943)
6d6e9ed 
Closes #191

- This adds a "Start at: {time}" timepicker to the direct link on the
`Video details` page and both share options of the video page's share
menu.
- Picking a time will append said time as a search query to the shared
link.
- The linked video will start at the chosen time.
- Users can also manually add a time to a link in their browser by
appending `?t=2h2m20s` (or any other combination of hours, minutes and
seconds like `?t=2m` or `?t=1h20s` or `?t=20s` etc). You can try it out
with https://pr943.tobira.opencast.org/v/GjDqXFlukkH?t=20s (or any other
video).

- There is unfortunately one visual issue with the time picker in
chrome, where the rightmost number is slightly cut off. I don't know
what causes this yet.

- As always, visuals and wording (and I also the places where this is
included) are open for discussion and feedback is appreciated.
