Description

Category: 3rd Party Integrations

The YTranscript plugin is a game-changer for Obsidian users who frequently watch YouTube videos and take notes. With this plugin, you can easily extract transcripts from selected YouTube links and view them in a side window with timestamped markers. You can customize the frequency of timestamps and even copy all text or drag-and-drop lines to add to your notes. The plugin also allows you to click on timestamps to jump to specific points in the video, making it a powerful tool for note-taking and research.

Usage

New: Insert YouTube transcript directly into your notes (Mobile-Friendly)

  1. Position cursor where you want the transcript inserted
  2. Run command: "Insert YouTube transcript"
  3. The plugin will detect YouTube URLs from:
    • Currently selected text in editor
    • System clipboard
    • Manual input (fallback)
  4. Confirm or edit the URL in the prompt
  5. Transcript will be inserted directly at cursor position with clickable timestamps
  6. Continue writing your notes with the transcript content inline

This new command is perfect for mobile users and provides a seamless note-taking experience.

Classic: Side panel workflow (Desktop-Optimized)

  1. In editor window select link to Youtube video
  2. Choose option YTranscript: Get Youtube transcript from selected url
  3. Transcription will appear in side window with timestamp
  4. In settings you can control how often timestamp should appear (once for every x (default: 32) lines)
  5. Clicking on timestamp opens video in that place
  6. Right click to copy all
  7. You can drag and drop lines of transcription or timestamp link

Both the classic side panel commands remain available for users who prefer the traditional workflow.
