常见问题:
Do I need a YouTube API key?
No. ChapterPlay uses YouTube's built-in data endpoint. No Google Cloud account or API key is required.
Why are no chapters showing?
Chapters are extracted from the video's description. If the video description does not contain timestamps (e.g. 00:00 Introduction, 01:30 Next Section), the player will show a "Full Video" entry instead.
Can I add multiple players on the same page?
Yes! Each shortcode or block instance is fully independent. Add as many as you need — they will not interfere with each other.
Does the player work on mobile?
Yes. The layout is fully responsive and adapts from 300px to full-width containers.
Which YouTube URL formats are supported?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_IDhttps://youtu.be/VIDEO_IDhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/VIDEO_ID- Plain 11-character Video ID
