    Honest Limitations

    Most tools bury this page. We lead with it. Here is exactly what Askube cannot do yet — updated every time something changes.

    Video Support

    • Does not support private or unlisted YouTube videos — transcripts must be publicly accessible.
    • Does not support non-YouTube video platforms (Vimeo, Loom, Wistia, etc.) yet.
    • Videos without captions or auto-generated transcripts cannot be processed.
    • Live streams and premieres are not supported.

    Multi-Video Features

    • Cannot compare two or more videos side-by-side in a single query.
    • No playlist-level Q&A — each video is processed individually.

    Summaries & Structure

    • Automatic chapter summaries are not yet available — you need to ask explicitly.
    • Table of contents generation is not automatic.

    Collaboration

    • No team workspaces or shared history yet.
    • No role-based access controls.
    • No API access for developers at this time.

    Accuracy

    • Answers are only as accurate as the video's auto-generated transcript. Heavily accented speech, technical jargon, or poor audio quality can produce transcript errors that affect answers.
    • Askube cannot fact-check claims made in a video — it reports what the speaker said, not whether it's true.

    Language

    • Works best with English-language videos. Other languages depend on YouTube's transcript quality and may produce lower-accuracy answers.

    We ship updates every week. If something on this list has changed, it means we built it. Check our public changelog to see what's new.
