What are Key Moments?
Key Video Moments are a Google SERP feature that allow Google to show Key Moments or Chapters in your video. Originally a YouTube feature, Google has opened up the feature to all video SERPs. SEEEN's CreatorSuite has full support for Key Moments in its player.
It's a good idea to add them to longer videos to let your viewers jump to the part of the video they are interested in.
When creating moments, try to follow these rules:
They should be at least 15 seconds long. Longer is fine.
Title them succinctly. You only get one line of text, so make it count!
Include at least three moments in your videos.
