2. Smart Chapters & Navigation

Break your video into meaningful moments your audience can instantly skip to, share, and engage with.

Updated over 2 months ago

Replay automatically divides your long video into Smart Chapters - clear, time-stamped segments that appear alongside your video. This makes it simple for viewers to navigate, scan, and share the parts that matter most.


Where to Find Smart Chapters

  • Desktop: Chapters appear in the right-hand panel next to the video player.

  • Mobile: Chapters stack below the video player in a scrollable list.

  • Each chapter includes a title and a timestamped description so viewers can understand the section at a glance.


How to Use and Edit Chapters

  1. Open your Admin Replay video page in the editor.

  2. Under the Player:

    • Rename a chapter by clicking its title and typing your own.

    • Edit descriptions under each title for clarity or detail.

    • Reorder chapters by dragging them into a new sequence.

    • Delete a chapter if it doesn’t add value.

  3. Save and publish changes to update your Replay page.


What Viewers Can Do

  • Jump straight to specific moments by clicking a chapter title.

  • Scan chapter titles to get a quick overview of your content.

  • Share deep links to a specific chapter - great for newsletters, LinkedIn, or customer support.

  • Navigate via transcript: Chapter boundaries also appear inside the transcript beneath the video.


Editing Tips

  • Keep titles short and clear - 2–5 words work best.

  • Use action verbs to grab attention (“Setting Up Replay” vs “Replay Setup”).

  • Optimize for SEO - chapter titles appear in page metadata and improve discoverability (see SEO & Transcripts).

  • Think ahead for clips - well-structured chapters make it easier to generate viral social clips.


Pro Tip

Use chapters as mini landing pages:

  • Share the demo chapter with prospects.

  • Highlight a customer story chapter on social media.

  • Reuse chapters in blogs or newsletters as stand-alone content pieces.


Wrap-up

Smart Chapters make long videos easier to navigate and reuse — giving your audience more control and you more ways to drive engagement.
