Auto Chapters for YouTube

Tracking since Apr 25, 2026.

Changelog

• May 9, 2026
  description

  Turn videos without chapters into videos you can actually navigate. Auto Chapters for YouTube generates clear timestamps and chapter titles for YouTube videos that do not already include native chapters, then injects them back into the watch page in a familiar YouTube-style UI.
  
  Why install it?
  
  - Smart navigation: jump to the part you care about instead of scrubbing through the whole video.
  - Better structure: get readable chapter titles and timestamps for long videos, tutorials, interviews, podcasts, and lectures.
  - No API keys required: unlike many similar extensions, you do not need to bring your own OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, or other model key.
  - Free workflow: the extension opens Gemini in a browser tab, prepares the prompt for you, captures the chapter result, and renders it back on YouTube.
  - Native-feeling experience: generated chapters appear as a fallback chapter interface only when a video does not already have its own chapter list.
  
  What makes it different? ✨
  
  Most chapter-generation extensions depend on paid API usage and ask users to configure their own AI credentials. Auto Chapters for YouTube is designed to remove that setup friction. No API key forms. No backend account linking. No developer-managed server.
  
  Open the video, generate chapters, and navigate faster. ⏱️
  
  Best for:
  
  - tutorials and how-to videos
  - podcasts and interviews
  - lectures and educational content
  - long commentary videos
  - any YouTube video that should have timestamps but does not

  Summarize YouTube Videos helps you understand long videos faster by turning them into a clear overview with clickable chapter-style navigation. When a YouTube video does not already include native chapters, the extension adds a simple summary action, opens Gemini with a structured prompt for that video, and brings the generated summary and chapter breakdown back into the YouTube page in a familiar, easy-to-scan format.
  
  Install it if you want to save time, skip directly to the parts that matter, and get more value from long-form YouTube content without manually scrubbing through the timeline.
