Can
Short answer: ChatGPT can't reliably pull a transcript directly from a YouTube URL. It doesn't fetch captions or process video audio on its own — you either paste in existing caption text or use a plugin/browsing mode with mixed results. Where ChatGPT genuinely shines is what happens after you have the transcript: summarizing, reformatting, translating, and extracting insights.
Use ChatGPT as your post-transcription editor: paste a finished transcript and ask for a summary, blog outline, social posts, or translation. Use a dedicated tool like TranscribeYT to actually get the transcript from the video — instantly, with timestamps, even when captions don't exist — then hand the clean text to ChatGPT if you want AI polish on top.
