NotebookBloom: A valid YouTube link can still be a bad NotebookLM source

I changed my priorities after watching where people actually got stuck.

NotebookLM mainly needs usable transcript text. A video can play perfectly and still become a weak source.

• Confirm captions exist before importing a full playlist.
• Check whether the spoken language is recognized correctly.
• Test two or three videos with a question whose answer is clearly spoken.

Bulk import can save repetitive pasting. It cannot create a transcript that is not there.

Test a small sample before adding an entire playlist or channel.

I am curious how other builders decide when onboarding guidance is more valuable than another feature.
