YouTube summarizer FAQ

How do I summarize a YouTube video?

Paste the video's URL into the box at the top of this page and click Summarize. No account needed — you get a timestamped summary you can read, copy, and share.

Is this a Chrome extension?

No. It's a website that works in any browser — desktop or mobile. Nothing to install, and it works the same in Safari, Firefox, Edge, and Chrome.

Does it work on YouTube videos without captions?

The tool is built to transcribe audio directly, so videos without captions are supported. If a specific video can't be processed, you'll see a clear message.

Can it summarize private or unlisted YouTube videos?

No — only public videos. Private videos aren't accessible, and the tool processes only links you submit.

Can I share my summary?

Yes. Every summary gets a link you can send to anyone — they can open it without an account. Keep in mind anyone with the link can view it.
