Ask Claude about a YouTube video
Copy the video's transcript on WithTranscript and paste it into Claude. Anthropic describes Claude's web search as reading articles and web pages; it doesn't list videos, so the transcript is how Claude gets what was said. Part of giving a YouTube video to an AI assistant.
Steps
- Paste the YouTube link into WithTranscript (the box above works).
- Press Copy transcript above the transcript. On a phone it's in the ⋯ menu.
- Paste it into the assistant and ask your question.
Make it a file
For a long transcript, or one you'll come back to, save withtranscript.ai/video/<id>/transcript.md as a file and attach it instead of pasting. In a Claude Project, add it to the project's knowledge so every chat in the project can use it. More on the transcript.md link.
A first prompt
This is a transcript of a YouTube video, with [m:ss]
timestamps. List the claims the speaker makes that I could
check, each with its timestamp.
