Create & Edit
Chapters & Companion Content
Put chapters, slides, references and notes beside the video, so viewers can jump, study and follow along.
The challenge
Why this matters
Long videos are hard to navigate. A viewer who wants one section has to scrub around, and references mentioned on screen disappear as soon as they are spoken.
What it is
Chapters & Companion Content in plain words
Chapters & Companion Content connects the program and the material around it. A reference can appear in the player when it is mentioned. Series can link to related material, viewers can follow a plan or a course, and notes and outlines stay with the video.
