Add markers on video time bar while replaying older videos (maybe in-progress too)
While I am watching an old broadcast, usually the day or two after it happened, I want to catch up on a few things. I do not watch the entire thing, but usually skip along to key moments. I would appreciate a few different ways to know where to skip along the time track on bottom. For example, if there were markings along the bar that showed where clips were taken. This would let watchers know that something "big" happened there and worth stopping there along the skip. A "Next Clip" button with this could let the user skip along the video faster, but not missing most of the important moments. Not all clips are good or well done, but I can see promise in the idea. If there are too many clips, maybe show the highest viewed one by default and have a list of similar clips on side to watch that clip instead.
Other time bar options could similarly be done to mark the time bar, like a video curator where other re-watchers or current watchers can mark these important moments as they watch, like clipping, but just a time marker instead.
These could also be done in real time videos so that people, who watch after the broadcaster started, can go back to key moments/clips and catch up quickly to the live broadcast.
The value in this feature could be huge as most users probably do not watch the entirety of old VODs, but instead try to skip to some degree.

Being able to mark while streaming using a hotkey (in Twitch Studio as well please) would be helpful in creating content using the VOD.

Would very much appreciate this feature. Modding for a Sims 4 streamer we regularly include content made by our viewers. It would be awesome if the stream markers would be available when replaying the VOD's.
