YouTube is packed with valuable content, but extracting key insights from long videos can be time-consuming. Many people wonder: Can ChatGPT summarize YouTube videos?
The short answer is no—ChatGPT cannot directly access or summarize YouTube content. However, with the right tools, you can quickly transcribe, summarize, and analyze YouTube videos using AI. VOMO AI is the simplest way to do it in one step.

2. Can ChatGPT Analyze YouTube Videos?
What ChatGPT Can and Can’t Do
• ✅ ChatGPT can summarize, analyze, and reformat text-based transcripts.
• ❌ ChatGPT cannot transcribe YouTube videos or process video/audio links directly.
To bridge this gap, use VOMO AI to generate a transcript and summary before feeding it into ChatGPT for further analysis.
3. Other Ways to Get YouTube Transcripts for ChatGPT
If you don’t use VOMO AI, here are alternative methods:
A. YouTube’s Built-in Transcript Feature
• Open the YouTube video.
• Click “Show transcript” (if available).
• Copy the transcript and paste it into ChatGPT for summarization.
🔹 Limitations: Not all videos have transcripts, and they often lack punctuation and speaker differentiation.
B. Browser Extensions for YouTube Summarization
• ChatGPT for YouTube (Chrome Extension) – Adds an AI-generated summary beside YouTube videos.
• Limitations: Accuracy varies, and not all extensions work consistently.
💡 Why VOMO AI is better? It provides clean, structured transcripts with key takeaways in seconds—no messy formatting or missing captions.
