Chapters exist as clickable links in the play bar and allow viewers to navigate to key points of your video. They can help increase engagement accessibility while also contributing to SEO benefits.
Note
This article discusses chapters for videos. To learn how to add chapters to audio files, refer to our audio player customization guide.
Adding Chapters
To add chapters to your video, open the "Customize" menu on the media overview page and click on the "Chapters" tab. Once opened, chapters will automatically be enabled for the video.
Click into the New Chapter field to edit the chapter's title, and click into any section of the timestamp to adjust the timing. Alternatively, scrub to the desired time using the timeline at the bottom of the page before clicking Add chapter.
If your video is less than a minute long, chapter timestamps will be formatted as seconds.milliseconds. For videos longer than one minute, timestamps will be formatted as minutes:seconds.milliseconds. Videos longer than an hour will be formatted as hours:minutes:seconds.milliseconds.
Once you've configured your chapters, click Save at the top right of the page to save your changes.
Tip
There is no hard character limit for chapter names, but longer titles may appear cut off in the player.
AI Chapters
Let AI do the work for you! Our AI-powered chapter generator carefully reviews and analyzes your video’s transcript to create chapters for topic changes. To generate new AI chapters, open the ellipsis menu in the transcript and click Generate Chapters.
Note
Your media must have a transcript before creating AI chapters. Generating new AI chapters will replace all existing chapters. Chapters cannot exist for multiple languages at once.
Removing Chapters
To remove a chapter, click the X next to any title. Click Save at the top right of the page to save your changes, or click Discard to restore the chapter you removed.
