About chapters

Chapters are time-stamped video sections that the owner of a video can add for their viewers.  Chapters are visible to anyone viewing your video and allow your viewers to jump to specific sections of your video. Please note that viewers of your video cannot add chapters.

Adding chapters using ScreenPal AI

If you have access to our AI feature, you can quickly add chapters to your video (as well as a video title, summary, and captions) using the ScreenPal AI tool.
For more information about our AI feature, please see our article titled ScreenPal AI.

1. To add AI-generated content, hover over a video thumbnail and click Manage.




2. On the Video Settings tab, click the ScreenPal AI button.




ScreenPal creates a title, video summary, chapters, and captions for the video:




3. You can edit the chapter or caption text by clicking it.




4. When your viewers visit the video watch page, they will also be able to click the Chapters menu and navigate to specific sections of your video:
