i am seeing that it is not possible to export videos with chapters - why is this not accessible if chapters are readily available in mp4 container?

ajadavis - Correct it's not possible to export or download a video with chapters in it. We built chapters as a "cloud only" feature directly in SharePoint and OneDrive. The chapters are not saved into the video file they are saved as metadata in ODB/SPO.

It would have been a much more complicated feature to save the chapters into the video file itself given rewriting of the original file, support for all kinds of audio/video formats especially ones that don't have a concept of chapters inside their file format.

Marc Mroz thanks for the quick reply, and understood.

as i see it, teams recorded meetings default to the mp4 format. since this supports chapters, it would be cool to add this feature to native microsoft app recorded meetings (not sure if other apps doing video recording in ms ecosystem are default mp4 as well).

anyway, thanks for the reply!
