YouTube import | Speak AI Docs

YouTube URL import is paused. Download the audio or video from YouTube, then upload the file to Speak AI to transcribe it.

Temporary Notice: YouTube URL import is currently unavailable due to recent changes made by YouTube. We are actively working on a fix.

Workaround: download and upload directly

The result is identical to URL import. This is just a temporary extra step while we restore the YouTube integration.

Once YouTube URL import is restored, the original flow will work again: go to Upload, select URL, paste the YouTube link, and click Import.

YouTube URL imports are temporarily unavailable in Speak AI. We’re working to restore this feature.
