Videos

More for you than for Mesh

Mesh can see the title, the link, your comment, and where you left off, and that's it. It can't watch, listen to, or transcribe the video, and it won't guess at the contents. When you want Mesh's help with a video, give it the material another way: paste YouTube's own transcript into Library, or hand Mesh a Note of your takeaways or a relevant Image.

Add a YouTube video

Choose Add video, give it a title, paste the YouTube link, check the preview, then choose Save Video. Regular watch links, short youtu.be links, Shorts, embed links, mobile links, and privacy-enhanced links all work. Playlist links don't; save the videos one at a time.

Play and pick up where you left off

The Video you select plays right in the panel, and each copy you pin on the Board plays where it sits. Every player keeps its own last spot, so the panel and each pinned copy can be at different times in the same video. A new pin starts where the panel left off, and keeps its own place from then on. Your comment sits under the player and saves as you type.

Manage a saved Video

A Video's actions sit in its row menu and in the header above the player:

• Rename it, check its info, or delete it. Deleting can't be undone.
• Manage the Topics it's in, or pin the player to the Board.
• Link opens the address menu with Copy link and Open on YouTube together.

Ask Mesh instead and it finds a Video for you, renames it, or files it under a Topic.
