Metadata and Tags

Channel Name Tagging

Automatically tag notes with the YouTube channel name:

1. Enable "Tag with channel name" in settings or the modal
2. Notes will be tagged with #channel-name at the top
3. Channel names are automatically sanitized to create valid Obsidian tags

Video Metadata

The plugin automatically extracts and includes video metadata:

In Markdown Files:

• Metadata is included as YAML frontmatter at the top of the file
• Includes: title, url, videoId, channel, channelId, duration, views, published date, description, and more
• Fully searchable and queryable in Obsidian
• Choose which fields are written and rename their property keys in Settings → Frontmatter (see Settings Reference)

In Cover Notes:

• All metadata is available as template variables (see Cover Notes)
• Use template variables to customize how metadata is displayed in cover notes
