Check video chapter timestamps before publishing
Paste your chapter timestamps and titles to catch common formatting problems. The checker follows YouTube's stated requirements and can prepare a clean list for your video description.
Enter one timestamp and title per line, such as 0:00 Introduction. The first chapter must start at 0:00, include at least three timestamps in ascending order, and each chapter must be at least 10 seconds long.
