YouTube Timestamp Link Generator

A deep link to one moment in a video — or a full chapter list from pasted times.

Seconds, or m:ss / h:mm:ss.

One chapter per line: a timestamp, a space, then the title.

Same job, one API call

Runs in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.

Questions

How do timestamped comments become chapters?

Write one timestamp per line in the description starting at 0:00 — YouTube turns any list that starts at 0:00 into chapters automatically.

Do watch links and embeds use the same parameter?

No — a watch URL takes t= (in seconds, or 1m20s form) while an embed uses start=. Pick the link type that matches where you will paste it.

What format should the chapter list use?

One timestamp and label per line, starting at 0:00 — the same list YouTube turns into chapters when it sits in a description.
