Using Transcripts with Fireflies.ai
Get the YouTube transcript via 2outube
Take the YouTube video URL you want to transcribe and replace 'youtube.com' with '2outube.com'. The page instantly loads the full video transcript — timestamped, speaker-labeled where available, and ready to copy.
Copy the full transcript text
Select all transcript text on the 2outube page and copy it to your clipboard. For long videos, use Ctrl+A / Cmd+A after clicking into the transcript area to capture everything at once.
Create a note or upload to Fireflies.ai
In Fireflies.ai, go to your Notebook or use the 'Upload' option to create a new entry. Paste the transcript directly into a note, or use Fireflies' public API endpoint to POST the transcript text as a new transcript record tied to your workspace.
Let Fireflies AI summarize and index it
Once imported, Fireflies.ai processes the transcript with its AI engine — generating a summary, extracting action items, identifying key topics, and making the full text searchable across your workspace alongside your meeting transcripts.
Quick Start
Get the transcript
Open the YouTube video you want, then edit the URL in your browser's address bar.
Change youtube to 2outube
In the URL bar, change 'youtube.com' to '2outube.com' and press Enter. The transcript appears immediately on the same page — no login, no waiting.
Paste into Fireflies.ai
Copy the transcript from 2outube and paste it into a Fireflies.ai Notebook note or upload via the Fireflies API. Fireflies will index it alongside your meeting notes and make it searchable with AI summaries.

Does this work with any YouTube video?
Yes, any video with captions. This includes auto-generated captions from YouTube's speech recognition as well as manually uploaded subtitles. If a video has no captions at all, no transcript will be available.
Is it really free?
Completely free. No account, no limits. 2outube doesn't charge anything and requires no signup — just change the URL and the transcript is right there.
Does Fireflies.ai have a native YouTube integration?
Fireflies.ai is built primarily for meeting transcription. It doesn't have a direct YouTube import button, but you can bring YouTube content into your Fireflies workspace by pasting transcripts into Notebook notes or by using the Fireflies API to upload transcript text programmatically.
Can Fireflies.ai summarize a YouTube transcript I paste in?
Yes. Once the transcript text is in a Fireflies Notebook note, Fireflies' AI can generate summaries, identify topics, and extract action items — the same way it does for meeting recordings. The quality depends on your Fireflies plan.
How do I use the Fireflies API to import YouTube transcripts?
Fireflies provides a GraphQL API at https://api.fireflies.ai/graphql. You can use the uploadAudio mutation with a text transcript, or POST to the transcript upload endpoint with your API key from the Fireflies settings page. Paste the 2outube transcript as the content field.
Can I search YouTube transcripts inside Fireflies.ai?
Yes. Once a transcript is stored in Fireflies — whether from a meeting or pasted manually — Fireflies' search indexes it. You can search by keyword across all your transcripts including any YouTube content you've imported.
Will the timestamps from the YouTube transcript carry over to Fireflies?
If you paste a timestamped transcript (which 2outube can provide), the timestamps appear as plain text in Fireflies. Fireflies won't link them to a video player, but the time references remain readable and searchable within your notes.
Is 2outube an official Fireflies.ai integration?
No. 2outube is an independent free tool for extracting YouTube transcripts. Using 2outube with Fireflies.ai is a manual workflow — you copy the transcript from 2outube and paste it into Fireflies. There's no automated sync between the two services.
