YouTube launches today its most important feature in its history for phones and computers .. learn about it
These Chapters are perfect in long videos for reviews or educational programs where users may have only gone to watch a video clip to find out the part they are interested in, or, if this is the second or third time they are watching, to know exactly the instructions or process they need to follow (in the case of an educational program) to complete their task.
In music videos that last for more than an hour, these chapters are also very useful because you can skip to your favorite song or jump between tracks.
YouTube started rolling out this feature gradually since April, but it will now be officially available to all users on mobile and desktop devices.
The downside for content creators is that the playback time of their videos may be affected, however, YouTube considers this feature to have many benefits, stating that they even conducted field research to see how users interact with the platform.
The company also mentioned that they will remind content creators to use chapters for their videos before uploading them.
