With YouTube Channel Tracking on Glasp, you can connect your YouTube channel and automatically track all of its videos, along with titles, descriptions, and transcripts. It makes it easier to learn from videos, share insights, and turn your channel into an organized knowledge base.

With YouTube Channel Tracking, you can:

  • Collect all videos from your channel in one organized dashboard

  • Search and browse videos by title, description, or publish date

  • Download transcripts for summaries, research, or content creation

  • Export your channel's data in multiple formats (.txt, .md, .csv, .json, .srt)

Here is how to set it up in a few steps.


Step 1: Go to the Channels tab

From your Glasp profile, click the Channels tab at the top of the page. You'll see an option that says + Add YouTube Channel.


Step 2: Add your YouTube channel handle

Click + Add YouTube Channel.

Then, enter your channel handle without the "@". For example, if your channel is youtube.com/@glasp, simply type glasp.
