YouTube Conversation is a skills-only ChatGPT plugin that helps ChatGPT retrieve available YouTube transcripts through your Chrome session so it can discuss a video with you. It has no separate user account, payment system, hosted transcript service, or advertising profile.
Information processed
When the plugin is used, ChatGPT processes the YouTube URL and your question and uses its Chrome capability to access the supplied video page. The workflow may read the title, channel, duration, available caption language, and transcript text with timestamps from that page. The plugin does not ask for or receive your YouTube password.
How information is used
The URL, metadata, and transcript are used within your ChatGPT conversation to answer the request you made and create timestamp links. The publisher operates no transcript backend or application database and does not receive or store your transcript through this plugin.
Service providers
The workflow relies on OpenAI/ChatGPT and its Chrome capability, YouTube to supply video pages and captions, and the site host to serve these public pages. Their handling of data is governed by their own policies.
Your choices
Do not use the plugin for a URL or browser session you do not want ChatGPT to process. You can review or disable browser access in ChatGPT settings. Because the publisher maintains no user accounts or transcript database, there is ordinarily no plugin-held transcript record to retrieve or delete.
