YouTube to NotebookLM
Save YouTube videos with transcripts to NotebookLM. Powered by Notebook Toolkit — the browser extension that bridges your favorite platforms to NotebookLM.
YouTube is the world's largest video knowledge repository. Notebook Toolkit makes it easy to capture YouTube videos — including their full transcripts — and save them to NotebookLM as searchable source documents.
When you visit a YouTube video, the Notebook Toolkit extension adds a capture button. Click it to save the video title, description, transcript (with timestamps), channel information, and metadata. The transcript is formatted cleanly so NotebookLM can index and search through the content.
This transforms how you learn from video content. Instead of rewatching tutorials or lectures, save them to NotebookLM and ask questions about the content. Researchers can build video-based source libraries, students can create study materials from educational channels, and content creators can analyze competitor videos — all from within NotebookLM.
