What goes above the fold
Viewers see the first couple of lines before "more", and search shows a short snippet. Use those lines to say what the video covers, in plain words.
Chapters need the first timestamp at 0:00, at least three chapters, and each one at least 10 seconds long. Then YouTube splits the progress bar for you.
