Using Transcripts with Meta Llama
Find your YouTube video
Open any YouTube video you want to analyze — a lecture, podcast, interview, tutorial, or long-form talk. Copy the full URL from your browser's address bar.
Swap the domain to 2outube.com
In the URL, replace 'youtube.com' with '2outube.com'. Hit Enter and the full transcript loads instantly — no login, no extension, no copy-paste into a separate tool.
Copy the transcript
Select all the transcript text on the 2outube page and copy it. The text is clean and ready to use — timestamps optional depending on your Llama task.
Paste into Llama and prompt
Open your Llama interface (llama.meta.com, a local Llama instance via Ollama, or any Llama-powered app). Paste the transcript and add your prompt — summarize, extract key points, ask questions, compare arguments, or generate a study guide from the video content.
Quick Start

Does this work with any YouTube video?
Yes, any video with captions — including auto-generated captions. If a video has no captions at all, there's no transcript to extract.
Is it really free?
Completely free. No account, no limits, no API key required. Just change the URL and get the transcript.
Which version of Llama should I use for YouTube transcript analysis?
Llama 3.1 70B or 405B handles long transcripts best and produces more detailed analysis. For quick summaries, Llama 3.1 8B is fast and still capable. If you're running Llama locally via Ollama, llama3.1 is a good default choice.
How long of a transcript can I paste into Llama?
Meta's Llama 3.1 models support context windows up to 128K tokens, which handles most YouTube videos — including multi-hour lectures and podcasts. For very long videos, consider splitting the transcript into sections and processing each separately.
Can I use 2outube with a local Llama instance?
Yes. Copy the transcript from 2outube and paste it into any local Llama interface — Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, or any other local deployment. The transcript is plain text and works anywhere.
Does 2outube work with YouTube Shorts?
Yes, as long as the Short has captions. Most Shorts are too brief for complex Llama analysis, but the URL swap still works the same way.
Can Llama analyze transcripts in languages other than English?
Yes. Llama 3.1 is multilingual and can analyze transcripts in dozens of languages. 2outube extracts the transcript in whatever language the captions are in — including auto-translated captions if the video has them enabled.
Is there a faster way to do this without copy-pasting?
For one-off videos, copy-paste is the simplest method. If you're processing many videos programmatically, you can use 2outube's URL pattern with fetch or curl to retrieve transcripts in bulk and pipe them into Llama via its API.
