Frequently asked questions

Does the connector work in the Gemini app or only in the terminal?

Our step-by-step setup currently covers Gemini CLI, which supports MCP servers with sign-in. If the Gemini app on the web or on your phone starts supporting custom connectors, the same address works, and we'll update the setup under Profile > Connections.

Can Gemini transcribe a YouTube video?

With the connector, it doesn't have to. If you allow changes, Gemini imports the YouTube video for us to transcribe, after showing how many hours it uses and waiting for your yes. Once the transcript is ready, it reads the text, chapters and clips straight from FilmScribe.

Do I need to know how to code to use Gemini CLI?

No. It's two commands: one to add the server and one to log in. After that you talk in plain language, right in the terminal, like you would in any chat.

Can Gemini delete or change anything in my account?

Only if you allow it. By default access is read-only. If you tick “Also allow creating, editing and deleting” when connecting, it does what you ask within your plan's limits, and deleting or spending hours always wait for your yes.
