The extension adds sources to Gistr without leaving the page you're on.

To clip a YouTube video:

  1. Go to the YouTube page

  2. Click the Gistr icon in your Chrome toolbar

  3. Choose a Thread (or create a new one)

  4. Gistr opens your Thread with the video loaded

To clip a web article: same flow — click the Gistr icon → select a Thread → done.

📸 SCREENSHOT: Chrome toolbar with Gistr icon highlighted. Below it, a small dropdown showing "Add to Thread" with a list of recent Threads.

💡 TIP: The Chrome extension also unlocks (( Instant Capture )) — screenshot any visual moment in a YouTube video with one click.
