How do I add a YouTube playlist to NotebookLM?

Free + ProVerified · NotebookLM / Gemini Notebook·Markdown

Short answer

NotebookLM takes YouTube videos one link at a time and does not expand a playlist. Paste the playlist URL into the YouTube import of NotebookLM Ultra Exporter: it lists the videos it finds and imports the ones you tick as separate sources. Free allows 5 per batch and 20 a day.

What to know

  • Each video is one source and counts toward the notebook limit.
  • Videos without a usable transcript can fail in NotebookLM.
  • Channel URLs work the same way.

Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.

Free or Pro?

The basics are free; the advanced options listed on this page need Ultra Exporter Pro. Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.

Frequently asked questions

Can new videos be added automatically?

Save the playlist as an import recipe. With Pro it checks on a schedule while Chrome is open and skips videos already imported.
