Is it possible to start an embedded facebook video at a specific point on wordpress

Just at the title says, if I copy a link at a specific time, it gives m the time code t=###.

If I try to embed that video into wordpress, the video starts at the beginning.

Is there a way to start a facebook video at a specific time while embedded in Wordpress?

It seems the t= parameter works for facebook video url's too now: e.g.

This format rather than the &t= worked for me:

https://www.facebook.com/100003947034370/videos/1916436035164612/?t=1550

at least it works if you type or paste the url in your browser and I was able to send it via messenger, but if you try to post it on your timeline so that people can watch the video from the relevant point facebook in their infinite lack of wisdom replaces the time stamp with ?__tn__=R-R and the video plays from the beginning.
