How to give a video to ChatGPT
ChatGPT and Claude can't open a video, but they're excellent at reading text. The trick is to turn the video into rich, structured text first.
Video2Skill converts any video (or YouTube link) into a skill.md you paste straight into your chat.
Three steps
1) Add your video or paste a YouTube link. 2) Let Video2Skill build the skill.md (transcript + on-screen text + visual analysis). 3) Download it and paste it into ChatGPT or Claude, then ask your questions.
Why not just paste a transcript?
A transcript misses everything shown on screen. The skill.md keeps the visual context and timestamps, so the model's answers are accurate and citable.
