Spotify is Adding Podcast Chapters

/

One of my favorite features from YouTube is chapter markers on videos that list timestamps in the description. That feature is now coming to Spotify! So now if you have timestamps in the episode notes of your podcast there should be a chapter listing on the playback bar so you know what topics are discussed, what section your in, and roughly how much longer each topic will be discussed.

This isn’t a groundbreaking feature, but I believe this provides a significantly better viewing experience for listeners. It may decrease your “listen time” or “view time”, but your goal should not be to manipulate people into listening for a few extra seconds, it should be to provide your listener/viewer with the best experience possible.

This is a great update to Spotify podcasts.
