Add Video Timestamps On Demand

  • Updated:

You can utilize timestamps (formerly bookmarks) on a video to bookmark a certain part of the video, which allows users to go straight to that part of the video when watching. There are two ways to manually timestamp a video: Direct Add and through the Timestamps Window. Direct Add works if you already know where your timestamp is. You can use the Timestamps Window if you need to find your timestamp.

 

This article will show you how to use both Direct Add and the Timestamp Window to timestamp a video on demand. To have the system automatically apply timestamps as part of your minutes, you will need to activate Auto Timestamps.

 

Important Note

You must upload media before you timestamp a video on demand.
