 Here's how you put chapters into your YouTube video. It's actually quite simple basically in the description of your YouTube video Somewhere in the description. It could be at the bottom Put zero colon zero zero and then put like intro or whatever how you however you start the video and then After that you could just put another line break and put like, you know one colon Three zero and then whatever topic meaning at one minute and 30 seconds it changes to this other topic and it'll put whatever topic Let me go and show you what I mean here. I'm gonna share my screen. All right So I basically I'm gonna put chapters underneath right now. You could see this YouTube video has no chapters It's one single red bar, right? There are there are no chapters at all So let me let me do chapters by clicking edit video and what I need to do here is to put those chapter Timestamps with topics anywhere in the video could be at the start. It could be at the bottom I think I might as well put at the bottom because it's it looks a little messy, right? It can look messy and what I did was I used Google Gemini to actually I basically say hey Are you able to create chapter titles from the YouTube video along with correct timestamps for those chapters? I gave it a link to the video and it did and I actually watched this I actually went to these timestamps and it was accurate and it's very smart because it starts with zero dot zero Column zero zero which is what it needs. Okay to start the whole YouTube This is how it you trigger YouTube to know that you're creating chapters So I'm gonna go and just copy this and let me see if what Google Gemini gives me this kind of format will work Well for YouTube chapters. I haven't literally done this before I'm gonna put it in here okay So see what it did see what Google Gemini did was it gave it gave me like okay Basically this overall chapter with these sub chapters. All right, so it might confuse YouTube Let's see if it it confuses YouTube to have two zero dot zero zeros or zero colon zero zeros click save Okay, I've saved it now. I'm gonna go to the video itself like I'm playing the video as a regular viewer and See you see now you see all these segments. It did it. It did it. It did it It did it so let me see here zero and you can see what the chapters are Let me go and zoom out here. You can see what the chapters are by underneath the video itself There's these there's now these topics at different different places if you click on the topics It'll show you the chapters on the right hand side. So let me see here Zero and then at 30 seconds recognizing the problems at one minute and 30 anti-work movement. Okay, let me see here zero Zero introducing the speaker Zero zero 30 hold on 30 seconds recognizing the problems, right? Yes, exactly the anti-work movement So it's doing it correctly. So next one should be 205 the dangers of chasing money. Let's see here. Whoops Where's the video 205 why chasing financial freedom? Okay, so see this is what happened 205 to 520 So it basically disregarded it disregarded all these sub chapters because it got confused So this is why if you use Google Gemini to do this, you should you should remove the overall I'm gonna do it right now. I'm gonna remove the overall ones. Okay. This was the OPC 205 to 520 this confused YouTube right there So I'm gonna remove that one because it remember this was the overall Chapter and then it kind of Gemini gave me sub chapters I'm gonna remove the overall chapter ones the ones that had a lot along see the 5 520 to 835 remove that one and Then 835 to 1220 removing that one and removing this one and removing this one and Removing what else why I've removed this one And I think that's it right anyway for the sake of the recording I'm not gonna comb over it too carefully right now. I click save. I'm gonna go ahead and open the video up again Basically in the future as people view my video the chapters will be there. Let me see here. Okay, sometimes Sometimes you have to wait because basically YouTube is processing all that information It doesn't usually happen instantly because the chapter creation has to it takes at least several minutes So let me see while I'm recording this whether it'll work or not. Ah There it is. Okay, again underneath the video topics will show up now with the time stamp So I'm gonna click on the topic and the chapters will that will now be there and look Yes, the ones remember the sub chapters or whatever. It's all there now So the nice thing about chapters on YouTube is that it does it does help with search engine Optimization because all this data is going to Google and Google loves it when there are YouTube videos that have chapters Because then it's able to point people to just particular chapters in the video when people are searching Google They might see oh check out this chapter of this YouTube video and when they click on it They'll jump directly for example to this one chapter and then they'll still be able to see your whole video But it'll just jump to that one point. So I hope this is helpful. I Want to thank Ben Wah fuchs for mentioning that the end times Like you don't have to say zero dot zero zero dash zero dot one five or whatever You don't need that you just need to start times for each chapter. That's all you need start time for each chapter like Minute colon seconds to two digits seconds, you know one minute, you know one colon Two zero or whatever space and then whatever the topic chapter or the title of the chapter should be
