Import YouTube videos and playlists to NotebookLM
Turn lectures, tutorials, playlists, articles, and research links into NotebookLM sources without copying URLs one by one.
Keep your study flow moving
Open the source, choose a notebook, and keep collecting. The same workflow works for YouTube videos, playlists, articles, and research links.
From YouTube to a usable notebook
Open a source
Start on a YouTube video, playlist, article, or research page you want NotebookLM to understand.
Choose the notebook
Use the extension popup to send the source into an existing NotebookLM notebook or a new research set.
Build the context
Add related web pages, tabs, links, and feeds so your notebook becomes a real study base, not a single video.
Built for high-intent source collecting
Students
Turn lectures, tutorials, course playlists, and reading lists into a study notebook before review sessions.
Researchers
Collect videos, papers, product pages, and reference articles in one place while the trail is still fresh.
Educators
Prepare class material from public videos and supporting pages without rebuilding the source list by hand.
Creators
Gather competitor videos, explainers, and blog posts into a research notebook for outlines and briefs.
YouTube to NotebookLM questions
Can I import YouTube playlists to NotebookLM?
Yes. NotebookLM Web Importer supports YouTube playlist importing alongside single videos, web pages, bulk links, browser tabs, and RSS feeds.
Can I import an entire YouTube channel?
The extension focuses on videos and playlists. For a channel, import the playlists or video URLs you want to study, then add related pages and references in the same notebook.
Is this only for YouTube?
No. YouTube is a strong entry point, but the extension is broader: web pages, links, tabs, RSS feeds, and NotebookLM management workflows all sit in the same tool.
Start with YouTube, then keep the rest of your study context.
NotebookLM works best when the sources are complete. Add videos, playlists, pages, links, and feeds while your research trail is still fresh.
