TubeLM Link Picker

About

TubeLM Link Picker is a small Chrome extension for people who collect YouTube videos as sources for NotebookLM, AI research notes, study projects, content planning, or client research. It is useful for YouTube to NotebookLM workflows where you need a clean list of video URLs instead of copying links one by one. If you have ever opened a YouTube search page, channel, playlist, or Shorts grid and thought, "I need to copy several video links, not one by one," TubeLM is built for that workflow.

Instead of copying YouTube URLs manually, cleaning tracking parameters, and pasting links into NotebookLM or another notes tool one at a time, you can select the videos directly on YouTube and copy a clean newline-separated list to your clipboard.

When TubeLM helps

- You need to copy multiple YouTube links at once from search results, a channel, or a playlist.
- You are building a source list for NotebookLM, AI summaries, research notes, study material, or a content brief.
- You want to collect YouTube Shorts links together with regular video links.
- You need clean YouTube URLs without extra tracking parameters like &pp=, &list=, or &t=.
- You want a simple way to bulk copy YouTube video links without leaving the browser or using an external web service.

How it works

Open YouTube and browse as usual. TubeLM adds a small checkbox to video cards on supported YouTube pages. Tick the videos or Shorts you want, open the popup or side panel, and press Copy selection. The extension copies only the selected links, formatted as one URL per line, ready to paste into NotebookLM, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Obsidian, Notion, a research document, or any tool that accepts a list of links.

What it does not do

TubeLM does not download videos, create transcripts, read comments, read your YouTube account, or send selected links to a server. It is only a local link picker and clean URL copier for YouTube pages.

Privacy

Everything happens locally in your browser. TubeLM processes the visible YouTube page only to find video cards and copy the URLs you explicitly select. It does not transmit page content, browsing data, selected links, analytics, or personal information to the developer. There is no account, no backend, no telemetry, and no remote code.
