Why Add Chapters to Your YouTube Videos?

Adding chapters to your YouTube videos offers several advantages:

  • Improved User Experience: Viewers can easily navigate to the sections that interest them most.
  • Enhanced SEO: Chapters help search engines better understand your content, potentially boosting your video’s ranking.
  • Increased Engagement: By providing a structured overview, you encourage viewers to explore more parts of your video.

Simplifying the Process with AI

Traditionally, adding chapters involves manually noting timestamps and creating an outline. While effective, this can be time-consuming. But fear not! AI tools like Notebook LM by Google are here to streamline the process.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Notebook LM

  1. Log into Notebook LM: Start by logging into Notebook LM with your Google account. This tool will be your AI assistant in creating video chapters.

  2. Add Your Video: Once you’re in, navigate to the ‘Sources’ section and click the plus sign to add a new source. Select the ‘YouTube’ option and paste your video URL. This starts the AI’s process of analyzing your content.

  3. Generate Chapters: After your video is imported, use a simple AI prompt like “Create timestamps and an outline for the video.” The AI will provide a structured breakdown of your video content with suggested chapters.

  4. Review and Edit: You now have a draft outline with timestamps. Review it to ensure it accurately represents your video’s sections. You can make any necessary edits directly within the AI tool.

  5. Refine with Google Gemini: For a cleaner format, paste the outline into Google Gemini and instruct it to keep only the main bullet points and timeline. This step helps further streamline your chapter list.

  6. Implement on YouTube: Copy the finalized chapter list and paste it into your YouTube video’s description. Your viewers can now easily navigate your content with the newly added chapters.

Benefits of Using AI for Chapter Creation
