Youtube Chapters

[JayZippo]

So I was researching on how to put some of my better videos into chapters so people can jump from section to section if they wish. I see that all the time with other channels.

For some reason, people with a strike on their channel can't use this feature? Or ones that have adult content. I find odd, many of the channels I watch are adult orientated and they have it... but whatever. Another Youtube, stick it up your ass thing.

BTW my strike was 5 years ago on something I posted over 10 years ago. Forgot about it and they refuse to listen to the "grandfathered" things they had in play at the time. Typical. But whatev.

Here is the note from the tubes:

Note: Not all videos are eligible for automatic chapters, and not all eligible videos will have automatic chapters. If the channel has any active strikes, or if the content may be inappropriate to some viewers, the video chapters feature won't be available.

So you can't put chapters in your videos or YouTube won't put automatic chapters in your videos?

Either. Can't do any of it. The option is not available because I have a strike on my channel.

have no idea why that is a thing for striked channels... but it is.

Hmm, that's very strange.

Can someone explain what automatic chapters are is it the same as when you add timestamps to the description and start at 0:00 or automatic chapters different ?

Automatic chapters means YouTube algorithm attempts to make chapters for your video based on where it thinks logical breakpoints are.  I've only found it done in one of my videos (and they weren't exactly right either).

Nod being able to do manual chapters is stupid.

Chapters are a benefit to viewers, more than  creators - so they keep viewers happier you'd think youtube would want everyone to use them.
