<b>Clip and SeekToAction markup is the key chapters nobody implements</b>

Google's video key-moments rely on either explicit <code>Clip</code> markup (manual start/end with names) or <code>SeekToAction</code> that tells Google your URL fragment pattern so it can auto-detect chapters. Most channels rely on YouTube's own chapters and never touch the on-page <code>VideoObject</code> extension.

The edge — for self-hosted or embedded video on your own domain, <code>Clip</code> markup is the only way to claim key-moments real estate in the SERP. Each <code>Clip</code> needs a <code>startOffset</code>, <code>name</code>, and a deep-linkable <code>url</code>.

What it means for you — if you publish tutorial or product video on your own pages, add <code>Clip</code> nodes to your <code>VideoObject</code>. You turn one blue link into a stack of jump-to-moment links.
