How to Track and Export Your YouTube Channel Videos

We’re excited to announce a brand new feature on Glasp: YouTube Channel Tracking!

Now, you can connect your own YouTube channel to Glasp and automatically track all your videos — along with titles, descriptions, and transcripts. This makes it easier than ever to learn from videos, share insights, and build your digital legacy of knowledge.


✨ Why We Built It

We all love learning from YouTube — whether it’s a deep-dive talk, tutorial, or interview. But keeping track of what we’ve watched and learned can get messy.
With Glasp’s new YouTube Channel Tracking feature, you can now:

  • 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)

🪄 How It Works

Let’s walk through how to set it up in just a few steps 👇


Step 1: Go to the “Channels” Tab

From your Glasp profile, click on 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.

After you click “Add Channel,” Glasp will connect your channel and start syncing all your public videos.


Step 3: View Your Channel

Once your channel is added, it appears in your list — complete with your channel name, handle, and video count.

Click on the channel to open a detailed view of your videos.


Step 4: Browse Your Videos

You’ll see a list of all your uploaded videos, including their titles, descriptions, and publication dates.

Each video comes with actions to:

  • Copy link
  • View transcript
  • Download data

Step 5: Download or Export Your Data

You can select multiple videos and download their information in various formats — such as .txt, .md, .csv, .json, or .srt.

Want just one video’s transcript? No problem — you can also download an individual transcript in your preferred format.


💡 Pro Tips

  • Use the .md export option to integrate your YouTube transcripts directly with your note-taking apps like Notion or Obsidian.
  • Export .csv or .json to analyze your content strategy over time.
