Using Transcripts with Basecamp
Find the YouTube video
Open the YouTube video you want to reference in Basecamp — a client walkthrough, a training session, a product demo, or any video your team needs to act on.
Swap the URL to get the transcript
In your browser's address bar, change 'youtube.com' to '2outube.com'. Hit enter. The full transcript appears on the page — timestamped, readable, and ready to copy.
Copy the transcript text
Select all or a relevant portion of the transcript. You can copy the whole thing for a complete record, or pull out just the key sections relevant to your Basecamp project.
Paste into Basecamp
Open your Basecamp project and paste the transcript into a Message Board post, a to-do description, a Card Table card, or a Campfire thread. Add context, tag teammates, and assign action items directly from the transcript content.

Does this work with any YouTube video?
Yes, any video with captions.
Is it really free?
Completely free. No account, no limits.
How do I add a YouTube transcript to a Basecamp message?
Get the transcript at 2outube.com by swapping the URL, copy the text, then paste it into a new Basecamp Message Board post. Add a subject line, a brief summary at the top, and tag any teammates who need to review it.
Can I attach a transcript as a document in Basecamp?
Yes. Copy the transcript from 2outube.com and paste it into a Basecamp Docs & Files document. This keeps your project library organized and makes the transcript searchable within Basecamp.
Can I use transcripts to create Basecamp to-dos from a video?
Absolutely. Copy the transcript from 2outube.com, read through it, and create individual to-dos in Basecamp based on the action items, steps, or tasks mentioned in the video. Paste relevant transcript snippets into each to-do's description for context.
Does 2outube store my transcript or Basecamp data?
No. 2outube simply fetches the YouTube caption data and displays it in your browser. Nothing is stored, logged, or sent anywhere. Your Basecamp data never touches 2outube at all.
What if the YouTube video doesn't have captions?
2outube works with any video that has captions — either auto-generated by YouTube or manually uploaded by the creator. If a video has no captions at all, no transcript will be available. Most major YouTube videos have auto-generated captions.
Can I share the 2outube transcript link with my Basecamp team?
Yes. The 2outube URL follows the same pattern as the YouTube URL, so you can share it directly in a Basecamp Campfire chat or message. Anyone who clicks it gets the full transcript instantly — no account needed.
