YouTube dropped #t start time support in direct URL and embed videos?

Recently, one could use #t=2m0s or #t=120 to set start time for direct links:

as well as for embed videos:

<iframe width="420" height="315" \ src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Fk2bUvrv-Uc#t=2m30s" \ frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> 

Now it seems YouTube dropped #t start time support and the above doesn't work anymore. How can I now place reference to videos with particular start time?

A sudden decline can be because viewers are suddenly not into the topic of video anymore (this happens a lot with trends, viral videos and news). Your Click Through Rate becomes low and YouTube stops promoting the video. This is why it is so important create evergreen content (opens article).

Why did YouTube views go down?

More viewers on the platform, but view counts are getting lower. If the video length is increasing, this means people will consume fewer videos in a period of time.

Embed videos

Looks like a different parameter is used now - start=<number of seconds> (see this blog and documentation).

Example:

<iframe width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen         src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Nc9xq-TVyHI?start=110&end=119"></iframe> 

Direct links

For direct links, it is enough to simply replace # for &:
