Yes, it works with any video that has captions. Most YouTube videos have auto-generated captions.
Is it really free?
Completely free. No account, no subscription, no limits.
Do LinkedIn Live sessions always end up on YouTube?
Not always — it depends on the broadcaster. Many companies and creators cross-post their LinkedIn Live replays to YouTube for broader reach, but some only keep them on LinkedIn.
Why can't I just get the transcript directly from LinkedIn?

The transcript looks garbled — what went wrong?
Auto-generated captions struggle with heavy accents, technical jargon, and crosstalk common in live streams. The words will be close enough for reading comprehension and search, but for verbatim quotes, verify against the video audio before publishing.

No — 2outube works with uploaded YouTube videos that already have captions processed.

No. 2outube loads the full caption file from YouTube regardless of video length, so even a 2-hour LinkedIn Live marathon session will generate a complete transcript in one go.
