Chapters

You can organize the video into chapters that will make the user experience better while watching the video.

How to break videos into chapters

The video chapters use the same concept as the captions and the supported format is VTT. The chapters are listed with the timeframe in the VTT file. For example:

WEBVTT

01
00:01.000 --> 00:04.000

02
00:05.000 --> 00:09.000

Supported caption file formats

Currently, we support only VTT file format.

You can check the formatting of the VTT with a free online tool here: https://w3c.github.io/webvtt.js/parser.html

🚧

Incorrect WebVTT formatting

We will not throw an error when the VTT file is incorrectly formatted. The response from the API will be 200, however, the captions will not be displayed.
