This is not a function of PowerPoint, YouTube provides this functionality when embedding their links:

Sorry that link got converted to a url

All you do is append the start time and end time to the link, see below:
(note I had to remove https://www so you could see the end of the link:

youtube.com/embed/BmOpD46eZoA?start=36&end=41

OK, I figured out the link you need:

The trick is to enter the start time in seconds:
0.0 = 0
2.56 = 175

So the link is:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/raH9MfLYxKw?rel=0...

Again the url has been turned into a link

The trick is to enter the start time in seconds:
0.0 = 0
2.56 = 175

So append this to your YouTube Link:
?start=0&end=176

Try pasting in the following as the embed code in the Insert...Video...Online Video... dialog:

This worked ok for me when I tried it in PowerPoint 2016.

Use the full HTML markup for the embed code and not just the URL. And I believe the rel parameter is not needed. And don't use two question marks in the URL. And encode the ampersand as &

Thank you.
