      Frequently asked questions

      What's the summary for?

      To understand a long video in a few seconds, go over what matters without rewatching it, or to put together the description and chapters of your own video.

      Can I choose how long it is?

      Yep. Pick between short, medium or long, or set the exact number of words you need.

      Where do the chapters come from?

      We detect the topics covered throughout the video and mark them with their timestamp, ready to paste into YouTube.

      Can I summarize my own video?

      Yes. Upload your audio or video file, any size, and we'll summarize it even if you haven't published it yet.

      Do I have to install anything?

      Nope. It runs in your browser, on your computer or your phone. No programs or extensions to install.

      Frequently asked questions

      How long can the YouTube video be for the summarizer to work?

      The tool works best with videos that have a publicly available transcript, regardless of length. Very long videos (over 2-3 hours) may take longer to process, and the summary will condense the entire content into the main key points.

      What if the YouTube video doesn't have captions or subtitles?

      The summarizer relies on the video's transcript, so if a video has captions completely disabled, it cannot generate a summary. Most YouTube videos have auto-generated captions, which are enough for the tool to work.

      Can I summarize a video in a different language than the original?

      Yes, you can request the summary in a language different from the source video. The tool processes the transcript and outputs the key points in the language you choose.

      Does the summarizer work with YouTube Shorts?

      Yes, it works with Shorts as long as they have a transcript available. However, since Shorts are very short, the summary will usually be just one or two key points.

      How accurate are the key points compared to the actual video?

      Accuracy depends on the quality of the YouTube transcript. For videos with clean manual captions, results are very precise; auto-generated transcripts in noisy or heavily accented videos may occasionally miss nuance.

      Can I summarize a private or unlisted YouTube video?

      No, the tool can only access publicly available videos with accessible transcripts. Private videos and most unlisted ones aren't reachable through the YouTube transcript system.

      Can I get timestamps for each key point in the summary?

      Currently, the summarizer outputs key points as a clean bullet list focused on content, not timestamped segments. For navigating the video, you'd need to search the moments inside YouTube itself.

      How do I use the summary for studying or research?

      Paste the YouTube URL, generate the key points, and copy the output into your notes app or document. It's a quick way to extract main ideas from tutorials, lectures, or interviews without rewatching.

      Why is my summary shorter than I expected?

      The tool extracts only the main key points, so videos with a lot of repetition, filler, or off-topic discussion will produce a more compact summary. The goal is signal, not transcript length.

      Can I summarize a YouTube live stream or premiere?

      Live streams need to be finished and have their transcript processed by YouTube before the tool can summarize them. Once the VOD is available with captions, it works like any regular video.
