Meaning
YouTube chapters divide a video into named timeline sections using a description timestamp list or supported automatic behavior.
A practical example
A manual list might start at zero and identify three substantive sections; its final interval still needs enough duration.
What to check
Formatting is only one requirement. Check the current platform rules, actual video duration and channel access instead of assuming any timestamp list will appear.
For a related planning or text task, open the youtube chapter formatter. The tool has its own limits; its result is not a measurement or approval of every concept described here.
