How to run the playbook

Excited to streamline your video content management? Our playbook is the perfect solution. It efficiently retrieves the transcript for the current YouTube video and organizes it in Microsoft Excel.

Transcribing video content manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors. With our playbook, you can automate this process, ensuring accurate transcription of the video's dialogue.

Imagine having the entire transcript of your YouTube video neatly organized in an Excel spreadsheet, ready for analysis or repurposing. Whether you're creating subtitles for your video, conducting keyword research for SEO optimization, or analyzing the content for insights, this automation simplifies the process, allowing you to focus on leveraging your video content effectively.

Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Create a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet

The first step is to create a Microsoft Excel Workbook for the transcript to be saved into.

Step 2: Pin the playbook and integrate Microsoft Excel
