# YouTube transcripts

This covers how to load youtube transcript into LangChain documents.

## Setup

You'll need to install the [youtube-transcript](https://www.npmjs.com/package/youtube-transcript) package
and [youtubei.js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/youtubei.js) to extract metadata:

```bash npm2yarn
npm install youtube-transcript youtubei.js
```

## Usage

You need to specify a link to the video in the `url`. You can also specify `language` in [ISO 639-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) and `addVideoInfo` flag.

import Example from "@examples/document_loaders/youtube.ts";
