Yes! You can toggle timestamps on or off using the "Timestamps" button.

When enabled, each line of the transcript will include the time marker (e.g., [0:15], [1:30]). You can then copy or download the transcript with or without timestamps based on your needs.

You can download YouTube thumbnails in 4 different sizes:

• HD (1280x720) - Highest quality, perfect for professional use
• HQ (480x360) - Good quality for most purposes
• MQ (320x180) - Medium quality for web use
• SD (120x90) - Small size for previews

Some videos don't have transcripts available. This can happen because:

• The video creator hasn't added subtitles/captions
• Auto-generated captions are disabled for the video
• The video is very new and captions haven't been generated yet
• The video is a live stream without captions
• The video contains only music or non-speech content

YouTubeToScript can only extract transcripts that exist on YouTube. We don't generate transcripts ourselves.

If you're experiencing an error, try these steps:

• Check the URL - Make sure you're using a valid YouTube URL
• Refresh the page - Sometimes a simple refresh fixes connection issues
• Try a different video - The specific video might not have subtitles
• Clear your browser cache - Old cached data can cause issues
• Check your internet connection - Ensure you have a stable connection

If the error persists, the video likely doesn't have available transcripts.

Private videos: No, private videos are not accessible.

Unlisted videos: Yes, if you have the URL, you can extract transcripts from unlisted videos just like public ones.
