I would love to be able to import with more than just a youtube link. Using any file hosting link would be helpful to import files from different tools.

This obvious needed feature was requested almost 2.5 years ago and it's still not implemented? Confirm that it's going live, within three months so I'm confident to become a paying member. The lack of this feature would cost me considerably more - requiring my overseas VA to download my YouTube videos to her computer, then upload them into your app - 30 hours of downloads a month x her hourly - very inefficient (times, what, 50% of your userbase - please add this needed feature to your service). Thanks.

Also if this could be accomplished with Zapier or Webhook. So when a new video is uploaded it will grab it once it's live.

I want this

Yup. This was the first thing I wanted to do in Descript.

Definitely an important basic feature.

Would be great if you could manifest soon?!?

Vimeo as well! My editor uploads all of my videos to my vimeo account and it'd be ideal to be able to import the video via link so I can create and review all transcriptions.

Checking in on this. Have another client sending me youtube links. Would love the direct import from youtube option!

Searching for how to do this in descript and found this thread. Got my vote. Yes please.
