That's a better use case. I can skim a long document quickly but I can't quickly skim a 30 minute YouTube video. It's pretty fast though... Does YouTube already have a transcript that it's reading?

I'm not suggesting in any way that this replaces watching all YouTube videos but it could help you save some time with some types of video content and a co-pilot for others.

You can try to ask it for things to your requirements,be descriptive.

For example: - you can ask it to list topics or tags in that video.

- you can ask it for specific timecodes/ Timestamps when topic X is mentioned

- you can ask it to tell you what's happening in time blocks/Chunks of x minutes.

be descriptive and ask for the format you want: lists, bullets, list with description, etc

Thanks for the feedback.
