There's a lot of instructional value out there in YouTube videos, and you can add them as sources.

But if you want to add multiple videos, you've got to copy each URL and manually import it in Notebook LM, okay?

If you see a playlist from some particular creator that you wanted to include into a notebook to understand everything that they've talked about, you would spend a lot of time having to select and copy all of those things.

Well, this extension called YouTube to Notebook LM, hard to find, lets you select a single URL or...

you can grab in addition to an individual video like you can grab an entire playlist

if you've generated the playlist, or an entire channel.

You can say, take this entire channel and put it in a notebook.

Now, I think there may be some data limitations on how much you can pack into a notebook, but I don't know what that is.

Anyway, so with that extension installed, you can import entire playlists from the YouTube page and incredibly even entire channels to a notebook with just one click.

And then you can talk to the chat.

on your mobile device about everything that this particular creator that's represented by all those videos talks about in those.

Now, I got to believe, because I believe when we first started seeing that certain models could take a video and understand it, that in the case of Google's interpretation of those videos, it's not limiting itself to just the transcript.

It's actually looking at the videos.

And so if there's a graph inside the video, it gets that.

If there's a diagram or if there's some other visualization like a video within that video, all of those things I think get comprehended by that.

But I haven't tested that myself.

You have to check that out.

So Notebook LM, it's really moving forward in many exceptional ways.

And these Chrome extensions make it even easier to use.

So check those things out.
