How can I add chapters?

With Spreaker, you can add chapters to your episodes to allow easier access to important content that you want to highlight. This can include images, texts, or links. The use of chapters allows hosts to share additional information to further enhance the listening experience.

Once they’re set, chapters will be visible across Spreaker's listening platforms: in the embedded player, Spreaker Podcasts for both Android and iOS, and Spreaker.com.

To add chapters to an episode, you will want to first head over to the CMS for your account and select the podcast you will first like to work on.

From here, you can select the edit icon for the episode in question. A Chapter tab will appear on the left side of the page to select to add the chapters.

Once the chapter section loads for the episode, you will see a waveform graph that will help you with placing the chapters.

When adding your chapters, you can give details for each:

And, finally, just remember to click on Save!

Chapter timestamp information will be included in the description of your podcast’s RSS feed if you select the option in the Chapters settings of your podcast:

This update allows the chapter details to be exported to all platforms supporting description-based chapters, helping your audience easily navigate and start playing from specific points. While the description on Spreaker will remain the same, the new chapter info will enhance the listening experience across various platforms. Adding chapters to your episodes not only boosts engagement with your current audience but also helps attract potential new listeners.
