Name: VideoOutline Short description: Read YouTube summaries, key points, timestamps and available transcripts. Requires an eligible VideoOutline account. VideoOutline puts video overviews and key points beside YouTube videos, with timestamps that take you back to the source. Features - Read a video overview and key points beside the player. - Jump to the original video using timestamps. - Retrieve an available transcript with a separate transcript button. - Use available transcripts first for text-based summaries; attempt video analysis only when transcript retrieval fails. - Follow the source language by default, or choose Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese or English output. - Choose short or detailed summaries and reuse valid cached results. Getting started Install the extension, open its settings, sign in at videooutline.app and connect an eligible account. A foreground YouTube video page requests a summary after about three seconds; you can also request one manually. Use the transcript button to retrieve available text separately. Access and limitations An eligible VideoOutline account and active trial or subscription are required. Plans cost US$9.99/month or US$59.99/year, billed annually. Eligible accounts receive one 7-day free trial with unlimited summaries. A payment method is required and the selected plan renews automatically unless canceled beforehand. Paid plans include 200 video minutes per billing month, released monthly for annual plans; each video is limited to 120 minutes. Unused minutes do not roll over and there are no automatic overage charges. Installation alone does not start a subscription. The extension interface and product instructions are in English. Summary output follows the source language by default and can be changed independently. Transcript availability and processing time vary; AI output can be inaccurate. Check the original video before relying on a summary. Privacy Relevant information from the current YouTube video, including its link, title, available captions and summary preferences, is sent to VideoOutline and the selected AI service provider.
