How to Get Clickable Timestamps in Chapters and Transcripts

What are clickable timestamps?

When you use the Podpage Audio Player, any timestamps that appear in your episode chapters or transcripts automatically become clickable links. When a listener clicks one, the player jumps straight to that moment in the episode.

Why do I need the Podpage Audio Player?

Clickable timestamps only work with the Podpage Audio Player. If you're using your podcast host's embedded player, we can't control playback on those players individually — so timestamps will appear as plain text instead of clickable links.

Switching to the Podpage Audio Player unlocks this feature for every episode on your site.

How to turn it on

  1. Go to Episodes in your dashboard.
  2. Click Settings at the top.
  3. Turn on Use Podpage Audio Player.
  4. Save your changes.

Once enabled, any timestamps in your chapters and transcripts will automatically become clickable and advance the player to the right spot.

Tip: If your chapters or transcript already include timestamps, they'll linkify immediately after you switch players — no extra steps needed.
