In this article you will learn how to manage chapters and highlights in your video content.
Chapters are a great way to break up longer videos into sections, so viewers can easily navigate to relevant parts of the content.
While being similar to chapters, Highlights allows you to highlight specific moments in your video and to direct viewers to specific parts.
1.0 | Chapters
The following example has four chapters to which the viewer can navigate to by clicking the corresponding sections in the progress bar:
1.1 | Add a Chapter
To add a chapter:
- Navigate to the “Media Library”;
