If you've uploaded a long video—or perhaps a video covering multiple topics—you might want to divide it into different parts or "sections." Adding sections to a video allows it to remain a single playback experience while marking key moments on the timeline. This enables viewers to navigate easily and even link directly to specific sections.

How to Create Sections

To divide a video into sections, follow these steps:

1. Open the single video page.
2. Navigate to the Sections tab.
3. Choose a timestamp and give the section a title.
4. Press Enter or click the + button to add the section.
5. (Optional) To add a description, click the Edit button next to the section and fill out the text field.

Keep in mind that a section must be within the video’s total length. If the timestamp exceeds the video's duration, an error will occur.

Repeat the process to create as many sections as needed. You can always edit a section’s title or timestamp, delete it, or copy its direct link by navigating to its tile in the Sections tab.

Linking to a Specific Section

You can link directly to a specific section of a video:

1. Right-click the section in the Sections tab.
2. Select Copy link.

Note: This link icon will only appear when the video is published.

Enhancing SEO and Navigation with Section Metadata

Adding titles and descriptions to sections not only improves user navigation but also enhances Search Engine Optimization (SEO). More metadata allows search engines to better index your video content.

Additionally, you can include a layout block on your video website that lists and links to each section, making it easier for viewers to find and access relevant parts of the video.

By effectively using sections, you enhance the viewing experience while making your video content more searchable and accessible.
