Using Transcripts with Coda
Find your YouTube video
Open the YouTube video you want to bring into Coda — a tutorial, lecture, podcast, or any video with captions. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar.
Swap the domain to 2outube
In the URL, replace 'youtube.com' with '2outube.com'. Hit Enter. The transcript loads immediately on the page — no login, no extension required.
Copy the transcript text
Select all the transcript text on the 2outube page and copy it. You can copy it with or without timestamps depending on what you need in Coda.
Paste into your Coda doc
Open your Coda doc and paste the transcript into any page, table, or canvas. Use Coda's AI assistant to summarize, extract action items, tag topics, or structure the content into a table with columns like Speaker, Timestamp, and Key Point.
Quick Start
Get the transcript
Navigate to the YouTube video you want. Copy the full URL from the address bar.
Change youtube to 2outube
Edit the URL so it reads '2outube.com' instead of 'youtube.com' — same path, same video ID, just one character different. Press Enter.
Paste into your Coda doc
Copy the transcript text from 2outube and paste it into any Coda page or table. Use Coda AI to summarize, extract bullets, or build a structured knowledge base from the content.

Does this work with any YouTube video?
Yes, any video with captions — auto-generated or manual. If a video has no captions at all, no transcript will be available.
Is it really free?
Completely free. No account, no limits. Just change the URL and copy the transcript.
Can I paste the transcript into a Coda table instead of a page?
Yes. Paste the transcript into a Coda canvas first, then use Coda AI to reformat it into a table with columns like Timestamp, Topic, and Key Point — or structure it however fits your workflow.
Can I use Coda AI to summarize the transcript automatically?
Yes. After pasting the transcript into a Coda page or canvas block, invoke Coda AI and prompt it to summarize, extract action items, identify themes, or rewrite the content for a specific audience.
Can I get transcripts with timestamps for Coda?
2outube displays transcripts with timestamps. You can copy them as-is into Coda and use AI formulas to parse the timestamps into a dedicated column if you're building a structured table.
Does this work for long YouTube videos?
Yes. 2outube loads the full transcript regardless of video length. Long lectures, full conference talks, or multi-hour recordings all work — just copy and paste the complete text into Coda.
Can I store multiple video transcripts in one Coda doc?
Absolutely. Coda is well-suited for building transcript libraries. Paste each transcript into its own page or table row, tag them by topic or source, and use Coda AI to search or synthesize across multiple videos.
Do I need a Coda account or paid plan?
Coda has a free tier that supports pasting and editing content. 2outube itself is completely free with no account required. Coda AI features may require a paid Coda plan.
