You can learn more about Vidcast's approach to AI in AI Transparency Technical Note in the Cisco Trust Portal.

Vidcast is now also able utilize AI to assist you with creation of chapters with ease. These will be located in the right hand side bar next to your video.


You will be also able to access chapter menu by clicking on the chapter name in the video player itself. This will allow you to utilize the right hand sidebar for another tool (eg. Slido, Highlights or transcript), while browsing through the chapters in the video.

​Vidcast will automatically run Smart Chapters on videos with transcripts longer than 260 words (estimated 2-3 min). As with AI Highlights, this process can take up to 1x duration of the video and the creator will be notified by in-app notification and via email once Chapters are generated.

Clicking in the Edit button below the video or below the Chapter selection will again bring you to the Video details tab. There you will be able to adjust your generated Chapters, manually add new ones and, as with Highlights, regenerate your Smart Chapters (this will once again replace any content in your Chapters section).
