Table of contents

What Is Table of Contents?

The Table of Contents is an engagement tool within the ON24 Intelligent Engagement Platform that allows webinar producers to segment an on-demand recording into chapters. These chapters appear as an interactive list within the Audience Console, enabling attendees to skip directly to the content most relevant to them.

Chapterizing an on-demand webinar improves the user experience by giving viewers more control over how they consume content. Whether exploring a single section or revisiting a specific moment, the Table of Contents enhances the flexibility of the on-demand experience. This tool works alongside other interactive features showcased on the webinar capabilities page.

Why It Matters

On-demand viewing has become a major contributor to webinar performance. Attendees expect the same level of navigational flexibility they experience on modern streaming platforms. The Table of Contents tool addresses this expectation by breaking long-form recordings into easily digestible segments.

For content marketers, training teams, and thought leadership programs, chapterization ensures that high-value information remains accessible long after the live event has concluded. It increases the likelihood of extended engagement and improves the discoverability of key content moments. The tool also supports broader digital engagement strategies described on the Propel Your Pipeline page.

How It’s Used

• Segmenting On-Demand Recordings: Producers identify key moments in the recording—such as topic transitions, product demos, or Q&A sections—and assign timestamps to create chapters.
• Improving Viewer Navigation: Attendees can browse chapter titles and jump ahead to the portion they want to watch. This is especially valuable for lengthy webinars or multi-topic sessions.
• Enhancing Training And Education: For programs built around learning, chapterized content helps attendees find and revisit specific instructions or explanations.
• Supporting Product Marketing And Demonstrations: Product-focused webinars often include multiple demos or feature spotlights. Chapters allow viewers to quickly revisit content tied to their interests or role.
• Promoting Always-On Experiences: On-demand webinars are frequently listed on the Upcoming Webinars page once replay-ready, and chapterization helps extend engagement long after the live event ends.

• Greater Flexibility: Attendees can consume content at their own pace.
• Increased Engagement: Reduces drop-off by making long webinars easier to navigate.
• Improved Learning: Helps viewers revisit important sections for better retention.
