Navigation tips to explore YouTube content on your mobile device
Watch videos by chapter
You can navigate videos by selecting different chapters. These chapters break up a video into different sections.
Go to the most replayed parts of a video
When you start seeking, a graph surfaces above the progress bar. The graph above the progress bar lets you find which parts of a video are most often rewatched. If the graph is high, then that part of the video has been replayed often.
The graph may not show above the progress bar for a video if:
- The channel has any active strikes.
- The content is potentially inappropriate.
- Our systems deem in ineligible for other reasons, such as if the video is too new or has too few views.
