Pandoc beamer change "Section 1" to "Chapter 1"

Question

I was doing my thesis presentation and my guide insists that the "Section {1, 2, ..}" should be replaced with "Chapter {1, 2, ..}" as in below image.

I tried a few tricks in YAML, and ended up with the below lines I think would help, but no use.

slide-level: 2
top-level-division: chapter

My LaTex skills a Level 2/10 but willing to dive deep if needed.

Thank you for helping!

Add

\def\sectionname{Chapter}

to your header-includes

Thank you for the quick reply! This was a life-saver. Got it exactly as needed! – Adrine Correya Feb 08 '21 at 06:28
@AdrineCorreya You're welcome! I would also suggest to remove `top-level-division: chapter`. No idea what rmarkdown will do with this, but beamer does not have chapters, so I think not using this might be safer – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Feb 08 '21 at 09:27
I know. I had no clue, and so tried random things. – Adrine Correya Feb 20 '21 at 11:47
