So how do you find them? If it was live on Facebook or YouTube, you can see the analytics of that video. Look at that chart where it looks like a wave pattern and look for wave that goes up and and that is where people stopped and moved back into the video and wanted to watch it again. So go to those spikes, take those parts of the video, clip them and just use that section as a teaser.” -Daniel
