I have a Vimeo account. I have a long video there. I would like to add chapter markers in that video. There are several videos about this but they were make 5 or so years ago and that method doesn't work anymore. Does anyone have an idea how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Their own examples don't work?

I didn’t know this was possible until I just googled it. From what I understand for this to work it must be embedded in a web page and you need to code hyper links with a javascript that allows it to jump to chapters in the video.

Here’s a sample https://codepen.io/2ne/full/revBy

I can’t verify it works probably because I’m using my phone browser. Which leads me to my point that these things are susceptible to technical problems, compatibility issues and future changes that might break it. A less elegant solution is to list the chapters times in the description .

If you host your own site, comfortable with coding and don’t mind the extra work then it could be a good solution.

Yes, I saw several videos that said the same thing. I don't have my own site so I'm out of luck. I'm still searching and I'll post back when and if I discover something.
Thanks for your input.
