Q. How do YouTube chapters work?
A. Add timestamps in your video description starting with 00:00. YouTube auto-detects them and creates clickable chapter segments in the player timeline.
Q. How many chapters should a video have?
A. Depends on length. 5-8 chapters for a 10-20 minute video, 10-15 for longer content. Our AI auto-calibrates based on video length and topic density.
Q. Does the first chapter have to start at 00:00?
A. Yes. YouTube requires the first timestamp to be 00:00 for chapters to activate. Our generator always includes this.
Q. Can I edit the generated chapters?
