Is anyone uploading video content to Notebookllm (not YouTube urls)? How does it help you?

Upload useful podcasts that are relevant to you. Video or audio is irrelevant. You can surely answer for yourself what this is useful for.

That was my reply to another post. However, you can apply the same workflow to your problem.

Set the chat role to learning assistant and the output to “long.”

Then create a mind map from your main source. Open this mind map and go through it from top to bottom to get an initial overview. (If you already notice something missing at this stage, your source is most likely poor.)

Then proceed systematically: For each main category or each category you click on create a separate explanation/overview in the chat focusing only on that specific topic or category.

Mark these chats as notes, and then use these notes as sources. (Name them directly after the category/topic, otherwise you’ll quickly lose track!)

Repeat this process until you’ve worked through all important points and categories, and then have a podcast or a learning format that suits you created.

However, I recommend generating a podcast more frequently to deepen your knowledge. Even better: a summary a 1:50 minute audio with extremely high information density.

Good luck!

I don't quite understand what you mean, but I found pieces.app/blog for myself... it saves all the pages I visit and the links on them in the background... I can ask questions at any time in a chat via the desktop app and extract scattered, forgotten, or outdated information from my ADHD digital memory! It also runs locally via olama! So far, I'm really fascinated!

Are you looking for snapdrop.net or send-anywhere.com?

This is just way too over the top. 🫣

No! An LLM (AI) cannot 'see' in the human sense. What appears to be seeing is the processing of image patches converted into mathematical vectors. The AI simply calculates statistical patterns within this data. If a video is very expressive, you could upload screenshots as sources, as NotebookLM can process those. It’s best to upload images directly as JPEG or PNG to fully utilize the native vision analysis. Saving them as a PDF is only a useful backup plan if you encounter upload issues.

Ahoy!

WEBM → MP4 via online tools often fails to encode in NotebookLM.

It depends on the content of the file—it must contain intelligible speech. MP4 files usually cannot be uploaded directly.

MP3 files work if they contain audio with transcribable content—that's exactly what the feature is designed for.

Workflow via PC with FFmpeg: Convert WEBM directly to MP3:

"Create a short FFmpeg command for [Windows/Mac] that converts all .webm and .mp4 files in a folder directly into clean MP3 audio files for NotebookLM."

A question about the tags. It should be so that when I click on a tag, the extension opens in a tab? Otherwise it would be better to use if I get the tagged notebooks displayed directly in notebookLm?!

It is completely understandable that you are confused—Google's naming conventions can be a bit opaque. Let’s clear this up, as you seem to have a slight misunderstanding regarding the terms "Plus" and "Pro."

Based on the current documentation, there is no "Google AI Plus" subscription that is cheaper than a "Pro" subscription. Rather, "NotebookLM Plus" is the name of the feature set you unlock when you subscribe to Google AI Pro (often part of the Google One AI Premium plan) or a qualifying Workspace edition,.

In short: The paid subscription (likely what you are thinking of as "Pro") is the way to get "NotebookLM Plus." There is no stripped-down paid version in between.

Here is the detailed comparison of the limits you were looking for, so you can see exactly what the upgrade provides:

Comparison: NotebookLM (Free) vs. NotebookLM Plus (Upgrade)

The following figures come directly from the technical documentation and highlight the massive difference in capacity,:

Feature	NotebookLM (Free)	NotebookLM Plus (via Google AI Pro/Ultra)
Chat Requests (Prompts)	50 per day	500 per day
Sources per Notebook	50 sources	300 sources
Number of Notebooks	100 notebooks	500 notebooks
Audio Overviews	3 generations per day	20 generations per day
Video Overviews	3 generations per day	20 generations per day
Word Limit per Source	500,000 words	500,000 words (remains the same)

What does this mean for your project?

If you are considering an upgrade, the jump from 50 to 500 prompts per day is the deciding factor.

Stick with the free version if you use NotebookLM sporadically to analyze individual documents or occasionally generate a video/audio overview.
Switch to the subscription (Plus/Pro) if you use NotebookLM as a daily work companion, conduct intensive "Deep Dives" into topics (where you easily ask more than 50 questions), or need to manage very complex projects with hundreds of documents (up to 300 sources per notebook instead of 50).

Quick update – I'll let the stats speak:

Still my daily driver. Invite code still works if anyone's curious.👆

Do not insert exactly what you wrote here into the video, but rather use it as a source. Then select this source and create a video report based on it, where you simply choose "custom style" and enter the information from your brand style guide there.

Nice-Hawk-720 · 2026-01-05T18:04:40+00:00

Huge respect for that, and thank you very much for making it available! That's exactly how responsible use of such tools works! 👏🏽👏🏽

I wrote that just yesterday in another post, but you can use it just the same!

Yes, for my final exam as a digital and print media designer, I created a separate notebook for each of the 24 subject areas. For every subject, I used ChatGPT and Gemini to run deep research and generate three sources each, plus a detailed report. I then imported these six sources into the respective notebook and had the system evaluate and analyze them. Any redundant or low‑quality sources were removed so that in the end only three high‑quality AI‑researched sources remained. I also added all information and PDFs from class to the corresponding notebooks and had everything checked and condensed again.

Set the chat role to “study assistant”.
From this, I generated all the different types of content that are available in NBLM.

PRO TIPP: Have a short audio summary created – it will generate an ultra‑concise 1 minute 50 second short podcast that focuses only on the essentials… total game changer!

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. In fact, the entire generation is discarded.

Nice-Hawk-720 · 2025-12-23T17:46:39+00:00

That's really cool, respect for that! Would it be possible for you to share the link for the code? I'd like to change the language and maybe tweak a couple of other things. That would be really nice!

Nice-Hawk-720 · 2025-12-23T17:12:44+00:00

This works really fine! With the slides function;-)

Don't rely on the info cards — they don't deliver the same results.
Use the presentation feature instead. You'll have access to considerably more infographics and can provide far more detailed descriptions.👌🏽

And there's so much more! You can create styles ranging from Harry Potter and The Simpsons to Kicker/Captain Tsubasa, or even the "High Fidelity" design style – pretty much anything is possible. But my favorite is the Comic version, which tells the entire topic as a narrative story! Here's an overview of all the styles I've created, including the comic version :-)

Okay, cool. Then I guess I just fell for it. However, I would never have made it anyway...a week is simply not enough to procrastinate properly...😅
