# YouTube transcript with timestamps

> See each cue's time on screen. Keep the times in SRT, VTT, or JSON. Copy still strips them.

This page opens in Timestamps view. Click a cue to jump in the player. If you need the times in a file, download SRT, VTT, or JSON — not TXT, and not Copy.

## Where the times actually live

- **On screen.** MM:SS beside each cue. That's a view, not a file.
- **Copy.** Always strips times. Even in this view.
- **TXT.** Untimed. There is no timestamped-TXT button.
- **SRT / VTT / JSON.** Always keep timing. That's what those files are for.

## What people use the times for

- **Jump.** Find the moment without scrubbing.
- **Cite.** Keep SRT, VTT, or JSON so the clock survives the paste.
- **Edit.** Drop SRT or VTT on a timeline.
