To split your YouTube video into episodes, follow these simple steps.
Step 1… Upload a new video to YouTube or start editing an old one.
Step 2… On the Video Details page, in the Description field, enter timestamps and episode names. Please note that the time is entered in colon separated by 00:00.
The first episode should start at 00:00. The minimum episode length is 10 seconds. In total, you can add at least three episodes to the video. You need to list them in the order they appear in the video. Save your changes.
After that, the episode breakdown appears in the video.
