VideoLM — AI Video Import to NotebookLM

Tracking since Apr 7, 2026.

Changelog

• May 14, 2026
  description

  VideoLM turns YouTube research into NotebookLM-ready source collections.
  
  Stop copying URLs one by one. VideoLM adds a NotebookLM button directly on YouTube pages so you can import the current video, visible search results, an entire playlist, or a channel page into NotebookLM with fewer manual steps.
  
  KEY FEATURES
  
  One-click video import
    Add the current YouTube video to NotebookLM from the YouTube page.
  
  Batch channel, playlist, and search import
    Import visible YouTube videos from channels, playlists, and search results in one workflow.
  
  Smart chunking
    NotebookLM has source limits. VideoLM can split large collections into Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and continue importing across multiple notebooks.
  
  Smart duplicate detection
    VideoLM checks existing notebooks and local source records to reduce duplicate sources and wasted import quota.
  
  Auto-create and auto-name notebooks
    Start from YouTube and let VideoLM create a NotebookLM notebook based on the channel, playlist, or page title.
  
  Progress notifications
    Floating progress toasts keep you informed during long imports without interrupting YouTube.
  
  Notion and Obsidian export helpers
    After NotebookLM generates a response, VideoLM can copy or download that response in research-friendly Markdown formats for Notion or Obsidian.
  
  Free and Pro support
    VideoLM uses server-side license and quota validation for the official extension flow. Free users can import up to the monthly quota shown in the extension. Pro users can unlock higher limits and bundled AI features where available.
  
  Optional BYOK AI
    Users can provide their own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini API key for optional AI features. BYOK keys are stored locally in Chrome storage and used only when the user enables those features.
  
  Support diagnostics
    If you report an issue, VideoLM opens an email draft with redacted diagnostic information such as extension version, page type, quota summary, and recent import status. You can review and edit the email before sending it.
  
  USE CASES
  
  Researchers
    Build topic-specific video knowledge bases and ask NotebookLM questions across many sources.
  
  Students
    Import lecture playlists into NotebookLM for study guides, summaries, and review.

  PRIVACY SUMMARY
  
  VideoLM does not sell personal data, run ad tracking, or collect analytics.
  
  The extension stores preferences, duplicate cache, source index, optional BYOK API keys, license settings, and quota status in Chrome storage. It may communicate with the VideoLM backend at videolm-api.a0970292729.workers.dev for license validation, quota enforcement, and optional bundled Pro AI features. Optional BYOK AI calls are made only when enabled by the user.
  
  If the user chooses to report an issue, VideoLM opens an email draft containing redacted diagnostic information for troubleshooting. The user can review and edit the email before sending it.

  Transform your YouTube research workflow. VideoLM turns hours of manual link collection into seconds of automated magic.
  
  Stop copy-pasting URLs one by one. VideoLM adds a native NotebookLM button directly on YouTube pages — click it to import the current video, an entire channel, or a full playlist into your notebook instantly.
  
  Whether you're a researcher building a knowledge base, a student preparing for exams, or a podcaster curating source material, VideoLM bridges the gap between YouTube and NotebookLM's powerful AI analysis.
  
  
  ========================================
  WHAT'S NEW IN v0.3.0 (Apr 2026)
  ========================================
  
  RELIABILITY
  • Automatic retry with exponential backoff for transient API errors (500, 502, 503, 504, 529, network failures, 429 rate limits)
  • Honors Retry-After header on rate-limit responses
  • Client errors (401, 400, 403) fail fast to avoid wasting quota
  
  AI STRUCTURED MODE FIX
  • Fixed content being stripped when GPT-4o-mini auto-wraps output in markdown code fences
  
  AI CHAPTERS MODE FIX
  • Fixed chapter duplication — each chapter now contains only its own time range segments
  • Added defensive deduplication when AI returns overlapping chapter time ranges
  
  TESTING
  • Test coverage expanded from 277 to 346 tests across all AI modes
  
  
  KEY FEATURES
  
  One-Click Video Import
    Click the NotebookLM button on any YouTube video page to add it to your notebook. No tab switching, no URL copying. It just works.
  
  Batch Channel & Playlist Import — The Bulk Powerhouse
    Not just single videos. Import ALL visible videos from a YouTube channel, playlist, or even search results in a single click. VideoLM automatically extracts every video URL from the page.
  
  Smart Chunking — The 50-Source Solution
    YouTube channels with 100+ videos? NotebookLM limits each notebook to 50 sources. VideoLM is the only extension that automatically splits large collections across "Part 1, Part 2, Part 3..." notebooks — no manual intervention needed. It even detects existing Part notebooks and continues where it left off.
  
  Smart Duplicate Detection (Deduplication)
    VideoLM checks your existing notebooks and skips videos you've already imported. No wasted quota, no duplicate sources cluttering your workspace. Supports CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) notebook name matching for international users.
  
  Auto-Create & Auto-Name Notebooks
    No need to open NotebookLM first. VideoLM automatically creates a new notebook named after the channel or playlist. Start importing from YouTube — your notebook is ready when you are.
  
  Real-Time Progress Notifications
    Built with Shadow DOM technology for zero interference with YouTube. See floating toast notifications in the bottom-right corner showing importing progress, success confirmation with a direct link to your notebook, or clear error details.
  
  Popup Quick Import
    Use the toolbar popup for a detailed view: see video metadata, transcript preview, and choose your import options before sending to NotebookLM.
  
  
  USE CASES
  
    For Researchers: Build a comprehensive video knowledge base on any topic. Import an entire YouTube channel's library, then use NotebookLM to ask questions across all videos at once.
  
    For Students: Preparing for finals? Import your professor's entire lecture playlist into NotebookLM. Generate summaries, create study guides, and chat with the content.
  
    For Podcasters: Curate source videos for your next episode. Import them into NotebookLM, generate Audio Overviews, and use AI to find the most interesting talking points.
  
    For Content Creators: Research competitors, analyze trends, and organize inspiration. Import search results for any topic and let NotebookLM surface insights.
  
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  
  1. Install VideoLM from the Chrome Web Store
  2. Browse YouTube as you normally do
  3. Click the VideoLM button on any video, channel, or playlist page
  4. VideoLM sends the content directly to NotebookLM
  5. Open NotebookLM to chat with your videos, generate summaries, or create Audio Overviews
  
  
  SUPPORTED PAGES
  
    YouTube video pages (/watch)
    YouTube channel pages (/@handle)
    YouTube playlist pages (/playlist)
    YouTube search results (/results)
  
  
  PERMISSIONS — Minimal & Transparent
  
  VideoLM requires only the permissions it needs:
    activeTab: Read the current YouTube page to extract video URLs
    storage: Save your import preferences locally
    scripting: Securely inject the "Add to NotebookLM" button and extract public metadata (titles, URLs) for better organization
    notifications: Show import completion alerts when you've navigated away
    Host access (youtube.com, notebooklm.google.com): Bridge communication between YouTube and NotebookLM. We only transfer publicly available metadata (URLs, titles) and do not access your private browsing data.
  
  VideoLM does NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All processing happens locally in your browser. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party servers.
  
  
  COMING SOON (Pro)
  
    AI-powered video summaries before import
    Multi-platform support (Bilibili, Vimeo, and more)
    Custom preprocessing templates
    Priority support

    自動檢查筆記本內已有的影片，重複的不匯入，節省您的寶貴配額。支援中日韓 (CJK) 筆記本名稱比對，國際用戶也能完美運作。
  
  【自動建立與命名筆記本】
    不需要先打開 NotebookLM 手動建立筆記本。VideoLM 會自動以頻道或播放清單名稱建立新筆記本，並自動搜尋現有的 Part N 筆記本進行續傳，維持您的 NLM 首頁整潔不混亂。
  
  【即時進度 Toast 通知】
    採用 Shadow DOM 技術，在 YouTube 頁面右下角即時顯示進度，不卡頓、不影響瀏覽。匯入成功後附筆記本直達連結。

  Transform your YouTube research workflow. VideoLM turns hours of manual link collection into seconds of automated magic.
  
  Stop copy-pasting URLs one by one. VideoLM adds a native NotebookLM button directly on YouTube pages — click it to import the current video, an entire channel, or a full playlist into your notebook instantly.
  
  Whether you're a researcher building a knowledge base, a student preparing for exams, or a podcaster curating source material, VideoLM bridges the gap between YouTube and NotebookLM's powerful AI analysis.
  
  
  ========================================
  WHAT'S NEW IN v0.3.0 (Apr 2026)
  ========================================
  
  RELIABILITY
  • Automatic retry with exponential backoff for transient API errors (500, 502, 503, 504, 529, network failures, 429 rate limits)
  • Honors Retry-After header on rate-limit responses
  • Client errors (401, 400, 403) fail fast to avoid wasting quota
  
  AI STRUCTURED MODE FIX
  • Fixed content being stripped when GPT-4o-mini auto-wraps output in markdown code fences
  
  AI CHAPTERS MODE FIX
  • Fixed chapter duplication — each chapter now contains only its own time range segments
  • Added defensive deduplication when AI returns overlapping chapter time ranges
  
  TESTING
  • Test coverage expanded from 277 to 346 tests across all AI modes
  
  
  KEY FEATURES
  
  One-Click Video Import
    Click the NotebookLM button on any YouTube video page to add it to your notebook. No tab switching, no URL copying. It just works.
  
  Batch Channel & Playlist Import — The Bulk Powerhouse
    Not just single videos. Import ALL visible videos from a YouTube channel, playlist, or even search results in a single click. VideoLM automatically extracts every video URL from the page.
  
  Smart Chunking — The 50-Source Solution
    YouTube channels with 100+ videos? NotebookLM limits each notebook to 50 sources. VideoLM is the only extension that automatically splits large collections across "Part 1, Part 2, Part 3..." notebooks — no manual intervention needed. It even detects existing Part notebooks and continues where it left off.
  
  Smart Duplicate Detection (Deduplication)
    VideoLM checks your existing notebooks and skips videos you've already imported. No wasted quota, no duplicate sources cluttering your workspace. Supports CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) notebook name matching for international users.
  
  Auto-Create & Auto-Name Notebooks
    No need to open NotebookLM first. VideoLM automatically creates a new notebook named after the channel or playlist. Start importing from YouTube — your notebook is ready when you are.
  
  Real-Time Progress Notifications
    Built with Shadow DOM technology for zero interference with YouTube. See floating toast notifications in the bottom-right corner showing importing progress, success confirmation with a direct link to your notebook, or clear error details.
  
  Popup Quick Import
    Use the toolbar popup for a detailed view: see video metadata, transcript preview, and choose your import options before sending to NotebookLM.
  
  
  USE CASES
  
    For Researchers: Build a comprehensive video knowledge base on any topic. Import an entire YouTube channel's library, then use NotebookLM to ask questions across all videos at once.
  
    For Students: Preparing for finals? Import your professor's entire lecture playlist into NotebookLM. Generate summaries, create study guides, and chat with the content.
  
    For Podcasters: Curate source videos for your next episode. Import them into NotebookLM, generate Audio Overviews, and use AI to find the most interesting talking points.
  
    For Content Creators: Research competitors, analyze trends, and organize inspiration. Import search results for any topic and let NotebookLM surface insights.
  
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  
  1. Install VideoLM from the Chrome Web Store
  2. Browse YouTube as you normally do
  3. Click the VideoLM button on any video, channel, or playlist page
  4. VideoLM sends the content directly to NotebookLM
  5. Open NotebookLM to chat with your videos, generate summaries, or create Audio Overviews
  
  
  SUPPORTED PAGES

  VideoLM requires only the permissions it needs:
    activeTab: Read the current YouTube page to extract video URLs
    storage: Save your import preferences locally
    scripting: Securely inject the "Add to NotebookLM" button and extract public metadata (titles, URLs) for better organization
    notifications: Show import completion alerts when you've navigated away
    Host access (youtube.com, notebooklm.google.com): Bridge communication between YouTube and NotebookLM. We only transfer publicly available metadata (URLs, titles) and do not access your private browsing data.

  VideoLM：您的 YouTube 轉 NotebookLM 智慧橋樑
  
  別再浪費時間一個一個複製貼上網址了！VideoLM 專為 AI 研究者、學生與內容創作者設計，讓您在 YouTube 頁面直接「一鍵匯入」所有內容到 Google NotebookLM。
  
  
  ========================================
  v0.3.0 更新內容（2026 年 4 月）
  ========================================
  
  【更穩定】
  • 新增自動重試機制：API 遇到暫時性錯誤（500、502、503、504、529、網路斷線、429 限流）會自動重試
  • 支援 Retry-After 標頭：429 限流時依 API 建議時間等待
  • 客戶端錯誤（401、400、403）不重試，立即報錯避免浪費配額
  
  【AI 結構化修復】
  • 修復 GPT-4o-mini 自動加程式碼圍欄導致 Notion 匯出內容消失的問題
  
  【AI 章節拆分修復】
  • 修復章節內容重複問題：原本每個章節都含完整逐字稿，現在精準切分對應時段
  • 加入防禦性去重：AI 給出重疊時間範圍時自動合併
  
  【測試】
  • 測試覆蓋率大幅提升（277 → 346 項）
  
  
  核心優勢
  
  【一鍵匯入影片】
    在任何 YouTube 影片頁面點擊 NotebookLM 按鈕，即可加入筆記本。不需要切換分頁，不需要複製 URL。點一下就搞定。
  
  【最強批次匯入】
    不只是單支影片，整個頻道、播放清單、甚至「搜尋結果」都能一鍵抓取。VideoLM 自動從頁面提取每個影片連結。
  
  【突破 50 限制 — 智慧分批 (Smart Chunking)】
    遇到超過 50 部影片的大型清單？VideoLM 是唯一能自動建立「Part 1、Part 2、Part 3...」系列筆記本的擴充功能，完全不需手動干預。它還能偵測已存在的 Part 筆記本並自動續傳。
  
  【智慧去重 (Deduplication)】
    自動檢查筆記本內已有的影片，重複的不匯入，節省您的寶貴配額。支援中日韓 (CJK) 筆記本名稱比對，國際用戶也能完美運作。
  
  【自動建立與命名筆記本】
    不需要先打開 NotebookLM 手動建立筆記本。VideoLM 會自動以頻道或播放清單名稱建立新筆記本，並自動搜尋現有的 Part N 筆記本進行續傳，維持您的 NLM 首頁整潔不混亂。
  
  【即時進度 Toast 通知】
    採用 Shadow DOM 技術，在 YouTube 頁面右下角即時顯示進度，不卡頓、不影響瀏覽。匯入成功後附筆記本直達連結。
  
  【工具列快捷匯入】
    使用工具列彈出視窗查看影片資訊、字幕預覽，選擇匯入選項後再發送到 NotebookLM。
