FAQ

Questions about YouTube video to notes.

Why can a YouTube link fail?

Some videos require login, Premium access, age checks, regional access, or platform cookies. For reliable results, download the video locally and upload the file.

Is local upload better than YouTube link conversion?

For the current beta, yes. Local upload avoids many platform access restrictions and gives the conversion pipeline a direct video file.
