Searching within a YouTube Video

Once you load a YouTube video, expand its description and scroll down until you see a heading that says "Transcript" and a button that reads "Show transcript."

Transcripts are frequently auto-generated and translations may be profoundly incorrect. If available, a search icon and bar will appear at the top of a timestamped transcript to the right of the video. I recommend using a single word to search; if it is found in the auto-generated transcript, it will appear with a timecode. You can click the timecode to automatically forward or rewind to that location in the video.
