What is the Chapters & Key Moments feature on BBC iPlayer?

Chapters & Key Moments help you find your way around live and on-demand video easily. Chapters divide a programme or event into useful sections, while Key Moments highlight particular moments of interest.

Instead of manually searching through programmes using the progress bar, select a Chapter or Key Moment to jump straight to that part of the video.

Chapters & Key Moments are available on selected content on BBC iPlayer TV apps, BBC iPlayer website and BBC Sport websites.
