Create a table of contents

The table of contents is useful for helping viewers navigate the video. The TOC are like time stamps, where viewers can simply select the content and play the video from that point.

Creating a table of contents is easy.

1. In the video editor, select Contents. Then, choose a point in time where you would like to add a timestamp to indicate new content. To select a point, ensure the red line is on the correct time stamp.
