I am attempting to add a youtube channel to my knowledge base. No matter how I type it I get the following error.

Thanks for the screenshot. I tested the link on my side and it did scrape at least one video, so the scraper is working, but there are a few things to keep in mind.

If a channel has hundreds or thousands of videos going back 10 to 15 years, the scraper has to process a huge amount of transcripts. That can easily lead to a timeout before everything loads.

Also, YouTube gives two different URL formats for the same channel:

https://www.youtube.com/@ADVISAUSA/
https://www.youtube.com/advisausa

Switching between these sometimes helps.

If the full channel keeps timing out, the simplest workaround is to add the videos one by one using their direct links instead of trying to scrape the entire playlist or channel at once.

Happy to test more links for you if needed.
