Importing a Youtube video fetches its description instead of its transcript

Fetching the transcription, even if it is one that was auto-generated by Youtube, would be much more useful.

I don’t think it even fetches the description at the moment actually. I agree this would be a nice feature, as would using some of the timing information to remove some/all of the need for manual syncing.

(moved this topic to the “Feedback” category since this is a new feature suggestion and not a bug)

There’s now a way to add timings from YouTube videos: Easier way to sync YouTube videos (beta). Still a bit fiddly but hopefully an improvement vs doing it all manually.
