    Frequently asked questions

    How do I get a YouTube summary into Obsidian?

    Summarize the video on SummarizeTube, click “Export Markdown”, and paste the .md into a new Obsidian note. Headings and timestamps come through.

    Does the export keep timestamps and headings?

    Yes. The Markdown preserves the timestamped bullets and section headings, so the note mirrors the video structure.

    Can I link the note to other vault notes?

    Yes. Because the export is plain Markdown, you can add [[wikilinks]] and block references like any other note.

    Is it free to use?

    The summary and Markdown export are free — no account required to try.

    How it works

    Three steps from link to summary.

    Drop any YouTube URL — public or unlisted.

    2 · We read the video

    Fetch the real transcript (captions). No-caption audio is transcribed when a provider is configured.
