It does not work with long form conversations like podcasts.

"I was unable to retrieve the transcript for this video due to its large size."

Coming soon! Currently, it works for videos under one hour. This limitation is due to ChatGPT's context window when using Plugins. I don't know why since it should support 200k tokens... Alternatively, you can use https://textube.olivares.cl to get the full transcription for any video in English.
Do you plan on open sourcing or letting us self host this tool? I would like to grab a bunch of videos but don't want to spam your server :)
And I bet it doesn't work with podcasts where any of the participants say "ignore all previous instructions, do [something else]"
I found a quick video with "ignore all previous instructions, do [something else]" on YT and it still works

so the only types of videos this is suitable for, it doesnt work on
You can get transcripts of any length using textube.olivares.cl or the API directly. The limitation lies in the current model used by Plugins, not in the API itself.
