I discovered how to embed UberConference recordings directly into Talk posts and make them start at a particular position. Given a link to an UberConference recording, you can simply paste it on its own line to get an audio player rendered. If you want the player to default to a time position other than the beginning of the recording, it gets just a little trickier.

Since UberConference uses HTML5’s standard `<video>` element, you can add `#t=123` to the link to make the player default to 2:03 (123 seconds into the recording); however, this breaks Discourse’s auto-rendering of the player. But you can fix it by hacking on an “.mp3” at the end. So…

#### If you want to set the default position of the embedded Uberconference player to 2:03 (123 seconds into the recording), add "#t=123&.mps` to the end of the link, like this:

`https://www.uberconference.com/getmp3/AMIfv...xJQ.mp3` **`#t=123&.mps`**

_(change “123” to the number of seconds into the recording you want as the default position)_

#### Example

`https://www.uberconference.com/getmp3/AMIfv94ENKbkATvM6n1EjzSUn-gO3_S0QxKzA54VrWB6ur1QaSC1zKhMHmmbC-c5St-y89W3vfmmZzXG-cbiYQQxxzveIAMtT3f7V3iDU-lcyDSPTu9Ljyu0S8JOxW35ZA2ZFePpM4AFb1TJs09abfzMjERsptWjqg.mp3` **`#t=118&.mp3`**

renders as:

[https://www.uberconference.com/getmp3/AMIfv94ENKbkATvM6n1EjzSUn-gO3\_S0QxKzA54VrWB6ur1QaSC1zKhMHmmbC-c5St-y89W3vfmmZzXG-cbiYQQxxzveIAMtT3f7V3iDU-lcyDSPTu9Ljyu0S8JOxW35ZA2ZFePpM4AFb1TJs09abfzMjERsptWjqg.mp3#t=118&.mp3](https://www.uberconference.com/getmp3/AMIfv94ENKbkATvM6n1EjzSUn-gO3_S0QxKzA54VrWB6ur1QaSC1zKhMHmmbC-c5St-y89W3vfmmZzXG-cbiYQQxxzveIAMtT3f7V3iDU-lcyDSPTu9Ljyu0S8JOxW35ZA2ZFePpM4AFb1TJs09abfzMjERsptWjqg.mp3#t=118&.mp3)

_(starting position “t=118” means 118 seconds = 1:58)_

Unfortunately, this trick doesn’t appear to work any longer in Chrome (v69)… at least for me. The audio control renders as expected, but starts at the beginning (time 0:00) instead of the desired start time. It continues to behave properly on Safari (11.1.2).

Maybe this is a victim of autoplay changes happening in Chrome. Or maybe it’s a temporary bug. We’ll see.
