With api.video, it’s really easy! Simply add a Web VTT file with the times and titles, and you are good to go!

We’ve just blogged a tutorial on how to get started with chapters.

Let us know how you are using chapters in your videos! Leave a comment in the thread, and feel free to share examples

Interesting. I’ve already implemented a function on my website’s frontend that changes a video tag’s currentTime, but this feature seems useful for those who don’t want to build a new UI for chapters.
