Q. What is YouTube summarization?
- YouTube summarization is a feature that helps you quickly understand the key points of a video. LiveWiki uses AI technology to extract and summarize the essential parts of the content.

Q. How can I summarize videos using LiveWiki?

Q. Can I summarize videos from platforms other than YouTube?
- Currently, LiveWiki only supports YouTube summarization. We are focusing on improving the speed and accuracy of YouTube summaries and don’t support content from other platforms yet.

Q. Can LiveWiki summarize all YouTube videos?

Q. Why can’t LiveWiki summarize videos without captions?
- LiveWiki provides summaries based on captions. Without captions, extracting the content automatically becomes difficult, making summary unavailable.

Q. How can I view the summary results on LiveWiki?
- On PC and Mobile web browsers, clicking the ‘Summarize’ button will take you to a dedicated summary page where you can view the summarized content. If you are using the extension, the summary will appear directly on the right side of the video screen.
