1

Get the recording out of YouTube

Your own uploads: Creator Studio → Content → download. Any public video: paste the URL directly — no download round-trip needed. For URL-based transcription, paste the link at /paste and skip the file entirely.

2

Queue the batch

Upload the day's files together — each becomes its own transcript with speakers and timestamps.

3

Skim, don't listen

Ten recordings review in the time one would take to replay.

What you end up with: The daily backlog cleared in one sitting, every file searchable.

For developer relations: Office-hours Q&A becomes docs input.
