Questions

What are YouTube’s rules for chapters?

The first timestamp must be 0:00, there must be at least three chapters, and each must be at least 10 seconds long. The tool checks all three before you copy.

Does it write the titles for me?

It starts each title with the first words of that section so you know where you are. Good chapter titles are short and specific, so rewrite them in your own words.
