Every creator knows that YouTube timestamps help viewers skip the least interesting parts and get straight to the most interesting. Here's how to timestamp a YouTube description to keep viewers engaged.

📌 If the length of the timestamps is longer than 10 seconds, adding timestamps to a description will add chapters to a video's progress bar as well.

1. Sign in to YouTube Studio, and go to the dashboard.
2. Tap CONTENT and select a video you want to add timestamps to.
3. Select EDIT VIDEO
4. Under the DETAILS, find DESCRIPTION and add timestamps and titles.
5. Start from 00:00.
6. Hit SAVE to save changes.

That's it! You have just timestamped a YouTube description.

📌 For best experience, timestamps should lead to the exact step/part described in the title. Timestamps should start from 00:00 to work. Once you hit SAVE, timestamps will turn blue and become clickable.

📌 Another benefit of adding timestamps to a YouTube description is YouTube and Google indexing. The patriarch of the search engines - Google- seems to like timestamped videos showing the relevant chapters of a YouTube video to the user query.
