YouTube is launching a new feature that breaks up videos into chapters

YouTube hopes a new feature will make it less difficult for users to find particular components of a video. Video Chapters, which launched Thursday on Android, iOS and desktop, uses timestamps from creators to break a video up into chapters, allowing users to leap to a specific segment or rewatch a certain portion. The chapters show up at the lowest of the video participant and pull timestamps from the video description.

Video Chapters is an optional function. Creators can permit it by ensuring the first timestamp listed inside the description begins at 0:00, and that there are at the least 3 timestamps or chapters which can be 10 seconds or longer each.

To disable the feature, change the primary timestamp within the description to be something apart from 0:00, including 0:01.

YouTube has been checking out the function on the grounds that April and the organization say it is received effective feedback.
