Add a YouTube channel

Notebook Clipper adds the videos of a YouTube channel to a notebook in Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM), one source per video, transcript included. It reads the channel’s Videos, Shorts and Live tabs. Videos already in the notebook are skipped, so adding the same channel to the same notebook again never creates duplicates. The channel must be public.

Add the channel

There are two ways to add a channel to Gemini Notebook.

  1. Click Add to Gemini Notebook in the channel header

    The button sits after Subscribe. The extension first fetches every video in the channel; a notification shows the progress, and large channels take a while. The Add to Notebook dialog opens when it is done.

    Click Add to Gemini Notebook in the channel header

  2. Select a notebook

    Choose a notebook in the Add to Notebook dialog, or click New notebook to create one. If every new video fits, they are added right away and the dialog closes.

  3. Select the videos, if asked

    If the channel has more new videos than the notebook has room for, the dialog asks you to choose. Select the videos you want.

    Select the videos, if asked

  4. Click Add to notebook

    The button is at the bottom of the dialog. If everything fitted at step 2, the videos are already in and there is nothing to click.
