When the extension is useful
The extension is the helper path for users who prefer the free shared model or a BYOK setup. For the simplest cross-device experience, choose Premium.
Use the desktop browser flow to capture captions for free or BYOK analysis.
Helps the free workflow start from the caption data it needs.
Keep using your own API key or provider settings when you want full control.
If you want phone and tablet support without extension setup, Premium is the cleaner path.
Install for the desktop free workflow
Get the official SkipYT extension from the Chrome Web Store when you want to use Free or BYOK mode on Chrome-compatible desktop browsers.
What using it feels like
Return to the app after enabling the extension.
Use the same main input flow you already use in SkipYT.
SkipYT loads captions in the background before analysis begins.
Once the summary is ready, keep going with the normal SkipYT result and Ask AI experience.
Questions before you install?
Install it if you want to use Free or BYOK mode. Premium users can analyze without installing the browser extension.
No. You install it once, and after that it works quietly in the background while you use SkipYT normally.
Some videos take a moment before captions become available, so SkipYT may need a short delay before analysis starts.
Chrome and Edge support the same installation steps.
