Listen to the Podcast:

Chapters for YouTube videos allow viewers to quickly navigate to a section of the video with the answer to their question. It is common for a person to leave the video if they cannot find what they are looking for; for this reason, adding chapters to your content is essential today. Here you will know how to add chapters to YouTube video in 2023.

The function of dividing the content by chapters came to YouTube in 2020. The tool, at first, was only enabled for computers and the best Chromebooks, but now it is also available on mobile devices, both those that use the Android operating system and the iPhone.

Chapters increase the retention time of the video and make the video more useful by exposing the information it contains.
