what is YouTube chapters?

YouTube Chapters is a feature that allows creators to add timestamps to their videos' description, enabling viewers to navigate to specific sections of the video. With this feature, creators can divide their video into different chapters, and viewers can easily skip to the sections they're interested in, rather than having to manually scrub through the video to find what they're looking for. The feature is intended to help creators make their content more accessible and user-friendly, especially for longer videos that cover multiple topics or subtopics. To use YouTube Chapters, creators need to add timestamps and titles to the video description, and YouTube will automatically generate the chapter markers in the video progress bar for viewers to click on.

To add chapters to a YouTube video, you need to follow these steps:

1. Open YouTube Studio and go to your video manager.
2. Find the video you want to add chapters to and click on "Edit."
3. Under the "Description" field, add timestamps for each chapter in the following format: "00:00 - Chapter Name."
4. Once you've added all the timestamps and chapter names, click "Save" to save the changes.
5. Now, when viewers watch your video, they'll be able to see the chapters listed in the video progress bar, and they can click on a chapter to jump to that section of the video.
Note: Make sure you leave at least 10 seconds between each chapter to give viewers enough time to switch between them.
