playerVars: {
            'origin': location.origin,
            'fs': '0',
            'autoplay': 0,
            'controls': showControls,
            'rel': 0,
            'start': startTime || 0 // Now correctly set
        }

how can I set the value for startTime I found middleware but videoUrl is youtube id ?

If we set startTime to 255 then it will start the video from 255 sec

@damencho @saghul any comments on it ?

I have tested this on web, its working perfectly how I expected to be, I am not sure why the linting is throwing error

Argument of type 'typeof YoutubeVideoManager' is not assignable to parameter of type 'JSXElementConstructor<Matching<{ _conference: IJitsiConference | undefined; _isOwner: boolean; _ownerId: string | undefined; _status: string | undefined; startTime: number | undefined; _time: number; _videoUrl: string | undefined; } & DispatchProp<...>, ClassAttributes<...> & IProps>>'.

is I need to pass the startTime as _startTime when I am doing the mapStateToProps?

The native AbstractVideoManager is requiring starttime as a number and you are passing number | undefined, types do not match.
