YouTube to NotebookLM extension

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.

Install from the Chrome Web Store, then use it directly on YouTube.

Why learners install before the next video

Save lectures, tutorials, and playlists while you are studying.

Keep articles, open tabs, bulk links, and RSS feeds beside the YouTube source.

Build a NotebookLM source set in minutes instead of rebuilding notes later.

Ready before the next lecture starts.

Add the extension now, then every YouTube lesson or playlist can become NotebookLM context without manual copy-paste.

YouTube to NotebookLM questions

Can I import YouTube playlists to NotebookLM with a Chrome extension?

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 a YouTube to NotebookLM extension?

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.

Is the extension free?

Yes. Installing is free, and the free plan imports the video or page you are watching (20 imports per day) plus bulk links. Bulk YouTube playlist import is part of Premium.

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.
