Highlight

Ayaan: /* Use cases (highest to lowest priority) */ Added a negative example of a highlight

{{Message box|mini=1|type=caution
|title=This is a subjective category.
|text=Enabling autoskip for this category is ''not recommended'' for any videos you care about. You will skip context, important information and have videos spoiled.
}}
'''{{Category|Highlights}}''' are for getting to the point or highlight of the video.
__FORCETOC__
== Specifics ==
Highlights are not {{Category|chapters}}, only one highlight is displayed per video. Highlights will only jump to a point in the video, hence the start and end time is identical.
Highlight doesn't label the parts of the video before it, it labels the part ''after'' it. YouTube's "most replayed" feature should not have any effect on what you submit.

Only submit the highlight with the highest priority.

Do not use highlight to deliberately skip the entire length of a video.

== Use cases (highest to lowest priority) ==
# Skipping to the point/most important part of the video
# Skipping to the part of the video referred to by the title
# Skipping to the part of the video referred to by the thumbnail
# Skipping to the part of the video referenced from a preview/teaser at the start of the video

Removing segments

2026-05-28T16:48:54Z

Ayaan: Reworded sentence so it doesnt imply that it excludes you

Segments can be removed in different ways.

== Downvoting ==
When you downvotes other users' [[segment]]s and it achieves a net -2 score, it is no longer served to users. Downvoting your own segment will set the segmet's score to -2 regardless of the current number of votes, meaning you can effectively always remove your own segments.

== Video duration ==
If a video's duration changes due to edits by the uploader (for example, channels can cut out parts of videos after uploading), all segments previously submitted on the video are shadow-hidden and automatically removed on any new submission or vote.

=== Live videos ===
During a livestream or premiere, the video duration is not stable. This state can even persist for a while after the livestream ends. To find out whether this is the case, open the “statistics for nerds” menu and look for “live manifestless” or “post-live manifestless”. As long as the video is manifestless, no segments should be submitted.

== Banned users ==
If a user is banned by a VIP, all segments submitted by that user will be hidden on every video. To ask to remove a disruptive user's segments, send a message on Discord or Matrix in the <code>#report-a-user</code> channel.

Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)

2026-05-17T05:44:59Z

Ayaan: /* Motivation */ Added hyping https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15509925

'''{{Category|Interaction reminders}}''' should be used when there is a reminder to like, subscribe, or interact with them on any paid or free platform. If it is about something specific,
the segment should be under the {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}} category instead.

__FORCETOC__

== Motivation ==
Calls-to-action never contain useful information. If it could be useful, use {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}} instead.

'''This includes:'''
* Short reminders to like, subscribe, follow, hype, interact, or watch to the end
** This includes "Pay attention or you'll miss [x] Easter eggs", playback speed, and repeat requests
* Generic reactions to messages or donations ("Thanks for the sub", "Shout-out to ''X'' for donating")
* Request for opinions in comments (See [[#Exceptions/ Edge Cases|exceptions / edge cases]])

== Exceptions / Edge Cases ==
Factual advice should not be included in any segments; opinions or polls should be. (See [[Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)#Examples|examples]])
* How can '''''I''''' improve the machine '''''I''''' am building? (factual)
* If anyone has worked with ''X'' before and has '''''advice on proper practices''''', please comment below. (factual)
* What should we call our new cat? (opinion)
* If anyone has any suggestions for a name, comment below. (opinion)

=== Not included ===
* On-screen interaction reminders (subscribe, like, comment button animations, etc.) that cannot be skipped without disrupting content. If you manage to make a segment which skips one of these without cutting out content and it doesn't have a bad transition, go ahead and submit it.
* Responses to viewer comments and questions.
* Talking about something specific:
** an event
** a specific post
** a long-ish explanation

FAQ/New categories

2025-12-13T17:41:12Z

Ayaan: /* AI-generated video */Full stop

{{Message box|mini=1|type=notice
|title=Can you add a segment category for X?
|text=Although new categories do get added occasionally, going forwards further new categories are unlikely to be added because the current categories cover all common cases.
}}
New category suggestions may be considered, but they must account for all of the following requirements.

== Necessity ==
Does your suggested category address a widespread need? It's not enough for just a few users to want it - there should be substantial demand. For a category to be useful, enough people must be willing to create segments for it across a broad range of videos.

== Commonly-occurring ==
The segment type should appear frequently in a significant number of videos. One-off or extremely rare occurrences are unlikely to justify a new category.

== Well-defined ==
Categories must have a strict and objective definition. The boundaries of the category should be clear, specifying what the category does and does not include. Consider edge cases and whether disagreements could arise about whether a particular segment should be marked.

== Not protecting a user's mental or physical health ==
SponsorBlock is not intended to protect users' health. Categories aimed at skipping content which may cause distress or discomfort will be rejected as out of scope. The reason is that SponsorBlock relies on user-submitted segments, which may be incomplete or inaccurate, so should not be relied upon for health or wellbeing.

A user who believes that SponsorBlock will protect their health may watch videos which are not (correctly) marked, so will inevitably be exposed to triggering content. It is ultimately the responsibility of content creators to consider their audience's health and wellbeing needs, and the responsibility of viewers to not expose themselves to potentially triggering content.

== Use of chapters ==
Consider whether a {{Category|chapter}} could be used instead – labelling a rare or overly-specific segment with a concise chapter name is preferred as it allows users to decide whether to skip it without the need for a new category.

== Use of Tangents/Jokes ==
Consider whether a {{Category|tangent}} segment could be used instead – this category is for tangential scenes or jokes which are not required to understand the main content of the video. This is a broad and slightly subjective category, but should not be used simply for scenes that you aren't personally interested in. This category could be used in situations where people who have enabled the category may want to skip an irrelevant section of video.

== Rejected suggestions ==
Below are examples of frequently-suggested categories and the reasons they are not implemented:

=== Epilepsy ===
* '''Suggestion''': Mark segments with flashing lights that may trigger epileptic seizures.
* '''Reason''': Due to the crowd-sourced nature of this extension, it would be worse than nothing, since it may create a false sense of security for an epileptic who believes they can safely watch videos and would then be exposed to unmarked flashing lights.

=== Fear or phobia ===
* '''Suggestion''': Skip segments which some viewers may find uncomfortable, such as spiders for viewers with arachnophobia.
* '''Reason''': This category is too subjective and broad to be practical, as each person will have different fears and phobias. Attempting to categorise specific fears, such as arachnophobia, would result in far too many categories to be useful.

=== NSFW / profanity ===
* '''Suggestion''': Skip segments that may not be suitable for work, such as sexually suggestive material or profanity.
* '''Reason''': This category is subjective and depends heavily on individual preferences

=== Jumpscares ===
* '''Suggestion''': Skip/mute jumpscares or sudden loud sounds.
* '''Reason''': Due to the crowd-sourced nature of this extension, it would be worse than nothing, since it may create a false sense of security

=== AI-generated video ===
* '''Suggestion''': Apply a full-video label to AI-generated videos, or allow skipping or labelling of AI-generated segments.
* '''Reason''': This won't be added in SponsorBlock, but an upcoming extension is in the works.

== Preview ==
For segments that show what is coming up in this or future videos of the same series, but do not provide additional information.

|}

== Recap ==
For segments that show what happened in this or past videos of the same series, but do not provide additional information.
If it includes clips that only appear here, this is not the right category. If the video that is recapped is not directly linked to the current video, but clips from the recapped video are shown,
you shouldn't submit them either, because others have probably not watched the recapped video.

For segments that show what happened in this or past videos of the same series, but do not provide additional information.
If it includes clips that only appear here, this is not the right category. If the video that is recapped is not directly linked to the current video, but clips from the recapped video are shown,
you shouldn't submit them either, because others have probably not watched the recapped video.

Intermission/Intro Animation

2025-09-15T06:54:49Z

Ayaan: /* Description */Uncaptialized "fair Use" to "fair use"

'''{{Category|Intermission / intro animation}}''' segments are for intervals without actual contents, usually at the start of a video.
This should not be used for transitions containing important context.
__FORCETOC__
== Description ==
This includes:
* Pauses
* Static frames
* Looping animations
* Livestream pauses with no content:
** Looping animations
** Livestream chat window
** Long break with no talking or nothing seemingly happening
* Copyright, fair use, fiction and legal disclaimers
* Parts of the video that were blurred or muted by the channel after uploading and don't make sense without the removed video or audio
* Topic themed intro animations and short cinematic openings
* Random unrelated clips with music, similar to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rzC5qrYZXs an intro of a TV show]
* Generic or repetitive chapter title cards
** Not for title cards that offer any additional context
** Generic chapters such as "Question 2", "Round 3" or titles to segments repeated throughout the series like "fan mail" can be included, if they don't offer additional context

== Exceptions / Edge Cases ==
As a rule of thumb, you can assume that anything containing speech should not be submitted.

This category is '''not''' for:
* Getting to the interesting part of a video. Use {{Category|highlight}} instead.
* Time-lapses
* Slow motion clips
* [[B-Roll|B-roll]] footage
* Bloopers
* Jokes

{{Disclaimers}}
* Context relevant to parts immediately after the segment

=== Full conference recordings ===
{{Draft|section=1|wip}}
Unedited conference recordings are a different type of video to regular, scripted videos, and as such some segments that usually wouldn't be considered “intermission” may be.

If any rules for scripted videos mention “speech”, you can assume that “speech” in the context of a conference recording does not include any unintelligible audience chatter before/after a talk, outside of a dedicated slot for questions. Anything that has its corresponding unique slides or time slot should be considered “content”. Segments without unique slides or an allocated time slot may still be considered “content” depending on other factors.

For full, unedited conference recordings, the following segments may additionally be included in {{Category|intermission}} segments:
* A/V testing (segments before the talk where A/V equipment is being tested/configured, that don't include any substantial speech)
* Verbal instructions before/after a talk that are only relevant for in person attendees, such as:
** asking for a door to be closed
* Unintelligible audience chatter before/after a talk, outside of a dedicated time for questions
* Responses to inaudible audience comments before/after a talk, if they cannot be understood without the context of the initial comment

=== Speedruns ===
{{Draft|section=1|wip}}
Long in-game loading screens and cutscenes without player input or commentary may be skipped if not counted toward the final time. Interactable menus (including inventory, result screens) should not be skipped.

Moments where a player is waiting for an in-game event to trigger and still being timed should not be skipped.
{| class="wikitable"
|+Can these loading screens / cutscenes be marked with intro?
!Verdict

|-
|❌
|External timer is used, and all gameplay with timer running shouldn't be skipped.

|-
|✅
|Modded autosplitter program is used that removes loading screens from the final submitted run time. (The in-game cinematics that play at the beginning of a level should not be marked as intro, since run strageties involve skipping them at the right time so NPCs are loaded in a certain position.)
|[https://youtu.be/NG7D4Caq6FA&t=139 HITMAN Trilogy SA/SO Run]
|-
|❌
|Loading screens and cutscenes count toward run time, and shouldn't be skipped. Also, there's unique commentary from the speedrunner that would be skipped.

Ayaan: /* Examples */ Added requiredSegment to all negative example videos

'''{{Category|Hook/Greetings}}''' is for narrative hooks that tease upcoming moments in a video, plus dedicated greetings and goodbyes.

== Description ==
=== Hook ===
For [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrative_hook narrative hooks] that grab the viewer's attention (often as the first scene) by teasing or describing events from later in the same video or future episodes in a series.

This includes:
* Custom teasers and montages with unique clips that only repeat upcoming info.
* Non-informative descriptions of later events. ("We're going to do ''X'' later, and it's going to be crazy..")
* A beginning thematic statement, such as a direct quote, that is already repeated later in the video.

Not included:
* Recaps of the current or older videos. (See {{category|recap}})
* Additional details or context not repeated later in the video. ("To do ''X'' later, we had to..")
* Moments with narrative importance that would be lost skipping, such as an event depicted earlier through a different character's perspective.
* Compilations of clips from other series episodes with no added context. (See {{category|Preview/recap}})

=== Greetings ===
For greetings at the start of the video before any information has been discussed, or which repeat information discussed right after the greeting.

=== Goodbyes ===
For goodbyes and concluding sentences at the end of the video. Do not include conclusions to the video's topic, only non-informational goodbyes should be included.

Advanced skip options

2025-09-07T18:47:38Z

Ayaan: Added descriptions to some attributes

Advanced skip options can be used to change the skip options depending on certain criteria of the submission itself.

Example:<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
// Skip sponsors at the start of the video
if time.start < 1 and time.end < 10 and category == "sponsor"
Auto Skip
</syntaxhighlight>

Each block consists of the word <code>if</code> along with a number of conditions with <code>and</code> in the middle.

The following attributes are supported:

# <code>time.start</code> (when the segment starts in the video in seconds)
# <code>time.end</code> (when the segment ends in the video in seconds)
# <code>time.duration</code> (how long the segment is in seconds)
# <code>time.startPercent</code> (when the segment starts in the video as a percentage)
# <code>time.endPercent</code> (when the segment ends in the video as a percentage)
# <code>time.durationPercent</code> (how long the segment is as a percentage of the total video length)
# <code>category</code>
# <code>actionType</code>
# <code>chapter.name</code> (the title for chapters)
# <code>chapter.source</code> (to separate SponsorBlock chapters from YouTube chapters)
# <code>channel.id</code> (ID starting with <code>UC</code>)
# <code>channel.name</code> (plain text name with spaces)
# <code>video.duration</code> (the length of the video in seconds)
# <code>video.title</code>

The following operators are supported:

# <code><</code>
# <code><=</code>
# <code>></code>
# <code>>=</code>
# <code>==</code>
# <code>!=</code> (not equal)
# <code>*=</code> (contains text ignore case)
# <code>!*=</code> (not contains ignore case)
# <code>~=</code> (matches regex)
# <code>~i=</code> (matches regex ignore case)
# <code>!~=</code> (doesn't match regex)
# <code>!~i=</code> (doesn't match regex ignore case)

The following actions are supported:

# <code>Disabled</code>
# <code>Show Overlay</code>
# <code>Manual Skip</code>
# <code>Auto Skip</code>

# <code>server</code>
# <code>youtube</code>
# <code>autogenerated</code>

==== More examples ====
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
// Auto skip chapters that contain the word bloopers (case insensitive)
if category == "chapter" and chapter.name *= "bloopers"
Auto Skip

// Auto skip chapters that start with the word Intro or intro
if category == "chapter" and chapter.name ~= "^[Ii]ntro"
Auto Skip

// Auto skip chapters that start with the word Intro or intro but only if they are made by the YouTuber
if category == "chapter" and chapter.name ~= "^[Ii]ntro" and chapter.source == "youtube"

if category == "chapter" and chapter.name ~= "^[Ii]ntro" and chapter.source == "server"
Auto Skip

// Auto skip preview/recap on this specific channel
if category == "preview" and channel.id == "UCX8wm5-NEzN-eL-DNcsRRJA"

if category == "intro" and channel.name *= "trains"
Auto Skip
</syntaxhighlight>

Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)

2025-08-19T13:16:47Z

Ayaan: Unnecessary adjective. No matter the length, the segment should always be submitted. Additionally, using "short" is too vague anyway.

'''{{Category|Interaction reminders}}''' should be used when there is a reminder to like, subscribe, or interact with them on any paid or free platform. If it is about something specific,
the segment should be under the {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}} category instead.

__FORCETOC__

== Motivation ==
Calls-to-action never contain useful information. If it could be useful, use {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}} instead.

'''This includes:'''
* Short reminders to like, subscribe, follow, interact, or watch to the end
** This includes "Pay attention or you'll miss [x] Easter eggs", playback speed, and repeat requests
* Generic reactions to messages or donations ("Thanks for the sub", "Shout-out to ''X'' for donating")
* Request for opinions in comments (See [[#Exceptions/ Edge Cases|exceptions / edge cases]])

== Exceptions / Edge Cases ==
Factual advice should not be included in any segments; opinions or polls should be. (See [[Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)#Examples|examples]])
* How can '''''I''''' improve the machine '''''I''''' am building? (factual)
* If anyone has worked with ''X'' before and has '''''advice on proper practices''''', please comment below. (factual)
* What should we call our new cat? (opinion)
* If anyone has any suggestions for a name, comment below. (opinion)

=== Not included ===
* On-screen interaction reminders (subscribe, like, comment button animations, etc.) that cannot be skipped without disrupting content. If you manage to make a segment which skips one of these without cutting out content and it doesn't have a bad transition, go ahead and submit it.
* Responses to viewer comments and questions.
* Talking about something specific:
** an event
** a specific post
** a long-ish explanation
