What's New
YouTube Web Clipper support
You can now import YouTube videos using Obsidian web clipper.
To enable it, import youtube.json to your Obsidian web clipper following template import guide. With media extended installed, the media will be directly parsed and imported to media library without creating any clipping note.
To make auto import from Web Clipper work, you need to make sure that the clipping note is named mx-import-youtube and directly under root folder of your vault.
