How to add chapters to a YouTube video
Three steps, all from the YouTube link.
Paste the link
Create a free account at Video Chapter Express and paste your video’s YouTube link.
Get your chapters
The transcript is read for you. Chapters, a description and title options appear on your results page.
Paste into YouTube Studio
Copy the chapters into the video’s description in Studio and save. YouTube splits the progress bar for you.
YouTube’s three rules for chapters
If one is missed, YouTube shows no chapters at all. Video Chapter Express follows all three.

Start at zero
The first timestamp must be 00:00.
- 3+
At least three
Fewer than three chapters and the bar stays whole.
- 10 s
Ten seconds each
Every chapter must last ten seconds or more.

Is it free?
You can start free with a trial. After it, there is a low-cost monthly or yearly plan.
Which languages does it support?
Videos in English and Spanish, and the app itself works in both.
What happened to the old form?
The old version asked you to paste a transcript and sent chapters by email. Video Chapter Express replaces it: paste the link, and everything stays in your account.
Can my business connect this to a CRM?
Yes. We connect YouTube uploads to Zoho CRM so the people who watch become people you can follow up with. Book a free consultation.
