Using Transcripts with Figma

Swap the URL to get the transcript
In the browser address bar, change 'youtube.com' to '2outube.com'. Hit Enter. The full transcript loads instantly—timestamped, copyable, no account needed.
Copy the transcript text
Select all the transcript text on the 2outube page. You can copy the full transcript or just the sections relevant to your design work—timestamps are included so you can reference the source.
Paste into Figma
Open your Figma file and paste the transcript text into a text layer, sticky note component, or annotation frame. Use Figma's text tools to organize quotes into research themes, map feedback to wireframes, or build a content audit directly on the canvas.

Does this work with any YouTube video?
Yes, any video with captions.
Is it really free?
Completely free. No account, no limits.
Do I need to install a Figma plugin to use YouTube transcripts?
No plugin needed. Get the transcript from 2outube by swapping the URL, then copy and paste the text directly into any Figma file. It works with Figma's native text layers, sticky notes, and FigJam boards without any extensions.
How do I organize a YouTube transcript in Figma?
Common approaches include pasting the transcript into a FigJam sticky note grid (one idea per note), creating a dedicated research frame with timestamped quotes, or annotating wireframes directly with relevant transcript excerpts. Use Figma's component sets to build a reusable research note system.
Can I use this for UX research from YouTube videos?
Yes. Many designers use YouTube transcripts for competitive UX research, reviewing recorded usability sessions, pulling quotes from expert talks, or extracting user interview content. 2outube makes it fast to get that text into Figma without any copy-paste friction from the original YouTube UI.
Does 2outube include timestamps in the transcript?
Yes. The transcript includes timestamps so you can reference exactly where in the video each quote or insight came from. This is useful when annotating Figma designs with source references.
What if the YouTube video doesn't have captions?
2outube works with any video that has captions enabled—either auto-generated by YouTube or manually added by the creator. If a video has no captions at all, no transcript will be available. Most videos on YouTube have auto-generated captions.
Can I use FigJam instead of Figma for organizing transcripts?
Absolutely. FigJam is often the better choice for transcript organization—paste the full text into a text block, then break it into individual sticky notes for affinity mapping. You can color-code by theme, connect notes with connectors, and vote on key insights with your team.
