Release Note: Temporary Removal of YouTube Video Source Option

Issued: 08/14/2024

Due to recent changes in Google's API, BoltAI can no longer receive video transcripts from YouTube, impacting our ability to index these sources effectively. As a result, we have temporarily hidden the option to add new YouTube videos to your knowledge base.

Details

  • API Changes: Google/YouTube’s recent API updates have discontinued the availability of video transcripts, which are crucial for our indexing process.

  • Temporary Removal: The option to add new YouTube video sources has been temporarily hidden while we explore alternative solutions.

  • Existing Sources Unaffected: YouTube videos that have already been added and processed will remain in the system and continue to be utilized by BoltAI.

Benefit

This temporary measure ensures that the quality and accuracy of BoltAI’s search and indexing functions are maintained. We are actively investigating alternative methods to support video content, aiming to restore this feature as soon as possible.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we work towards a solution.
