Taking Notes for YouTube Video Course

Questions & Help
1

I like to use Logseq to take notes for a YouTube course. When I place the Videos on a page, they are not high enough:

SCR-20230526-itfu881×474 247 KB

It’s very important, that I can see as much as possible of the video content, since my notes contain CSS code etc.

I guess, an alternative would be to watch the video on the left, and take notes on the right. My notes should show under the Video in a notes section, though. But I could not find a way to do this.

Writing this, I am thinking if it would make more sense to create a page for each lesson and add those to an overview page? Possible? Better Ideas?

Thanks for any suggestions :pray:t2:

There is a plugin to make your video float called Helium

Example usage

I was searching for the blog post where I found this information, there are more tips like using Ctrl+Shift+Y to put a clickable timestamp on the current part of the video.

Hi @Jan-Hinrich,

Did you ever find a viable solution to this? Did you try Helium, as @ddavo suggested?
If so, I’d be grateful to hear about your experience.

I’d also be curious to hear from you @ddavo if you’re a Helium user.

It would be a casual 20 minute conversation, compensated for your time, if that might work for you?

Thank you,
George

I still use logseq, but for videos, I mainly use my (physical) notebook, and just note on logseq that notes for that lecture are on pg xxx of the notebook. I dont have Helium installed anymore (I just migrated laptop and forgot some plugins). I tried to install it today but I can’t find it on the marketplace tab (db version).

Thank you @ddavo !

Would you be willing to jump on a call and talk about your note taking and experience with Helium?

I can’t directly message you, but can set that up if you send me a message.

Thanks again!

Thank you,
George
