How to save videos to Airtable

Saving videos to Airtable can be highly beneficial if you're managing a YouTube channel, conducting research, or curating video content. By organizing video data in Airtable, you can easily track, analyze, and manage your content library.

Video Pages

The most effective way to save information is while you're viewing the video page. This is where you'll find key details such as the video title, description, and engagement metrics.

With Airtable Powersave, you can visit a video page, select the appropriate Airtable table as your destination, and use autofill to quickly capture important data.

AI Autofill

Powersave AI autofill can efficiently categorize and save key details from videos. It’s particularly good at capturing:

• Video title
• URL
• Upload date
• Number of views, likes, and comments
• Video description
• Thumbnail image
• For dynamic websites like YouTube, where content updates frequently, it’s a good idea to do a full page refresh before using autofill to ensure all the latest data is captured accurately.

Additional details, such as specific timestamps, tags, or related links, can be manually clipped. You can right-click on video thumbnails or other images to add them to the attachment field. You can also select any text or data on the page and directly add it to existing fields in Airtable.
