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 save a YouTube transcript to Mem?
Go to the YouTube video, change 'youtube.com' to '2outube.com' in the URL, copy the transcript that appears, then paste it into a new Mem note. The whole process takes under a minute.
Can Mem's AI work with pasted YouTube transcripts?
Yes. Once you paste a transcript into a Mem note, Mem treats it like any other note. Its AI will surface related notes, find connections to your existing knowledge, and let you chat with the content.
Should I include timestamps in my Mem notes?
It's up to you. Timestamps are useful if you want to reference specific moments in the video later. If you're primarily using the transcript for note-taking or AI search in Mem, plain text without timestamps is cleaner.
What kinds of YouTube videos work best with Mem?
Lectures, conference talks, tutorials, interviews, and educational content are ideal. Any video where you want to capture and connect ideas — Mem's AI is especially useful for building a knowledge base from video content.
Do I need a Mem account to do this?
You need a Mem account to save notes, but you don't need any account to get transcripts from 2outube. Get the transcript free, then paste it into Mem when you're ready.
Can I use 2outube transcripts with Mem's Ask AI feature?
Yes. After pasting a transcript into a Mem note, you can use Ask AI to query it, summarize it, extract action items, or find connections across all your notes — the transcript becomes part of your searchable knowledge base.
