How to save leads from YouTube
A sponsor read tells you which companies pay creators. A launch video tells you what a company just shipped. Save either one from the watch page and the company goes into your list. Included on every plan, including Free.
How to use it
- Open the video or Short
- Press the button next to Like
- Confirm the company (usually the channel or the sponsor)
The company lands in Saved leads within a second.
What to save on YouTube
Two kinds of video are worth saving. One is a company's own channel announcing a product, a funding round or a job opening. The other is a creator's video with a sponsor: the sponsor is the lead, so change the company to the brand when you confirm the save.
Where the Save button appears
Next to Like and Share under the video, on a watch page or a Short. The home feed and search results have no button: open the video first.
What gets saved
The title, the first 1,200 characters of the description, the channel name and link, and the thumbnail.
What is never saved
The video file, comments, the transcript, and view counts.
How not to use it
Save every video from one channel. Save the one that shows why the company matters now, such as a launch, a sponsor read or a hiring call.
Which plans include it
YouTube is included on Free (free, 50 saves a month), Solo ($19 a month, unlimited saves), Power ($39 a month, unlimited saves) and Business ($99 a month, unlimited saves). No card is needed for Free. Full details are on the pricing page.

Common questions
Is saving from YouTube free?
Yes. YouTube is on every plan, including Free, which allows 50 saves a month with no time limit and no card.
Does it post or act on my YouTube account?
No. It never posts, likes, follows or messages from your accounts, and it never opens tabs or browses on its own. It reads a page when you click Save.
Where do saves from YouTube go?
Into Saved leads in your dashboard and in the side panel, filed under the company you confirm. They appear within a second.
What if the Save button doesn't appear on YouTube?
Check that the extension is enabled and that you're on a supported page, then reload it. If YouTube has changed its layout, the button can go missing until we update the reader. Troubleshooting shows how to check each site's recent success rate.
