Hi!
Since this week you can create Subtitles in Happy Scribe for new YouTube videos in your channel automatically through Zapier.
Check this page out: https://zapier.com/apps/happy-scribe/integrations/youtube
Pushing subtitles back to YouTube is unfortunately still not possible.
So I merged the "Integrations with YouTube" post into this integration request so that you can keep track of this.
Happy subtitling everyone!

Yoel: Hi Yoel. Thanks for this. Will this ever be native, so we don't have to use Zapier? I am not a fan of Zapier, it's very buggy and often does not work, requiring you to have to check it constantly. Not to mention the limits it comes with.
Yoel
Guy: Thanks so much for your feedback.
We are starting with Zapier because it allows us to cover more ground faster. Zapier will cover some simple integrations so that we can go deeper in those that need to be direct.
Definitely Youtube is on the top of our list for direct integrations, specially because adding subtitles to the videos will bring a lot of value and this is something we can only do with a direct integration. I cannot think on any direct integration that would bring more value to our users right now, really :)
But unfortunately this will come later on.
Also regarding Zapier breaking, you can reach out to us anytime Zapier-HappyScribe breaks. We'll be super happy to assist.

Yes, also be able to see which videos have already been transcribed.
But automatically adding subtitles to YouTube (or Vimeo) would be ace.

Hi Yoel . Any chance of getting a way to see if a video has already been transcribed? When you load up the YouTube import screen, you can see all your videos, and there is no way to tell if you have already transcribed it unless you make your own list. Some sort of icon or something to tell you would be great.
Also, my sign-in to YouTube keeps breaking. I have to re-sign in every time. Is that intended behaviour?
Yoel
Guy: Hi Guy, thanks so much for your patience with this. I am very sorry it is taking so long.
Indeed the integrations we have in the upload screen are broken in many ways. This problem with the sign in is just an ugly symptom, and the fact that we cannot implement something as simple as what you are describing in a short time is another one. The reason for this is that we deliberately incurred technical debt (https://deviq.com/terms/technical-debt) to be able to provide more uploading options in a quick way.
We are fully aware of these limitations and we'll fix them when we make the YouTube integration more native and with support for subtitles.
However, one thing we are working on is the ability to upload files to Happy Scribe to transcribe them later. Would that help? You will be able to upload all your YouTube videos but only transcribe (and use credit for) those that you need.
