It seems like the framework for extracting text from youtube videos doesn't work on short urls like
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FcHGLyrKPyE

Assistant/Discussdoc/summarize (which all use the same system) can't extract anything from it

workaround: change the url to a regular youtube url like https://youtu.be/FcHGLyrKPyE does work

    Thibaultmol changed the title to Youtube short/live urls can't be transcribed .

      Another type of URL with the issue: https://www.youtube.com/live/g_qxoznfa7E

        tuesday we do not support /live videos. Extracting transcripts from live streams requires a different process than our current system; this could be a feature request 🙂

            Thibaultmol changed the title to Youtube short urls can't be transcribed .

              Luis if it's an already streamed livestream, does it matter? sure they're longer so you'll need to embed the text probably. I assume that's what you're referring to?
              (so long videos don't work either atm then?)

                  Thibaultmol If it is already streamed, it will work after this fix. Long videos should also work. We don't transcribe videos ourselves, but we pull transcripts from YouTube themselves. So if the video has a transcript available (which already streamed livestreams do), then we can pull the transcript and summarize.
