Whether you are a student or a working professional, NotebookLM can be a really beneficial tool. Based on the sources you provide, you can do a lot with it. Including creating presentations, generating audio and visual summaries, taking quizzes, arranging data graphically, and much more. Since Google owns both, YouTube videos work really well as a source for NotebookLM. However, to add a video, you need to copy the video link and paste it under sources in your notebook.
