Frequently Asked Questions
Why didn't my YouTube video generate clickable chapters?
YouTube requires 3 strict rules for chapter markers: 1) The very first timestamp MUST start at exactly 00:00 (e.g., '00:00 - Stream Intro'). 2) You must have at least 3 chapters listed in ascending chronological order. 3) Each chapter must be at least 10 seconds long. Our tool guarantees these criteria automatically.
Can I use hotkeys while streaming to bookmark clips without alt-tabbing?
Yes! While this browser tab is active on a second monitor or via stream deck browser source, pressing keys 1 through 8 or the Spacebar instantly drops a timestamped marker with your pre-configured title.
What is the difference between YouTube Chapters and Twitch Stream Markers?
Twitch stream markers are metadata points saved directly onto your Twitch VOD dashboard during a live broadcast (accessible in Twitch Video Producer or via chatbot commands like !marker). YouTube chapters are text-based timestamps placed in the video description or pinned comment for on-demand viewers.
How does the Stream Start Offset feature work?
If you have a 5-minute 'Starting Soon' screen before gameplay begins, you can set an offset or calibrate the stopwatch so the exported timestamps perfectly align with your trimmed YouTube export.
