NotebookLM was renamed Gemini Notebook in July 2026. Video download is identical under both names.
Generate the video in the Studio panel, then open the three-dot menu on the video tile and choose Download. You get a standard video file. Two catches: it is desktop/web only — the mobile app cannot download — and free-tier exports carry a watermark you can strip with our free watermark remover.
The steps
- In the Studio panel, generate a Video Overview if you have not already. Generation takes a few minutes and runs in the background — you can keep working.
- When it is ready, hover the video tile and open the three-dot (⋮) menu in its corner.
- Choose Download. The file saves as a standard video, playable anywhere and ready to embed, upload or share.
The mobile catch
Downloading a Video Overview only works on the desktop web version. The mobile app will play the video but offers no download. If you generated it on your phone, open notebooklm.google.com on a computer, signed into the same account — the video is there, and the download menu appears.
The watermark
On the free tier the downloaded video carries a small Gemini Notebook watermark. A paid Ultra plan exports clean, but for the occasional video that is a lot to pay for one badge. Our watermark remover strips it in the browser — the file never leaves your device — and the full watermark guide covers the trade-offs (the marked area is reconstructed from surrounding frames, so expect a small quality change on video specifically).
What you can do with the file
- Embed it in a course, a Notion page, or a slide — it is a normal video file.
- Upload to YouTube or LinkedIn as a summary of your material. Strip the watermark first if it is public-facing.
- Archive it alongside the notebook. Videos are regenerated from scratch each time; downloading keeps the exact version you liked.

Can I download NotebookLM Video Overviews?
Yes, on desktop web: open the three-dot menu on the video tile and choose Download. The mobile app cannot download videos.
Why is there no download button on my phone?
Video download is desktop-only. Open notebooklm.google.com on a computer with the same account and the download option appears on the video.
How do I remove the watermark from the video?
A paid Ultra plan exports without one; otherwise our free browser-based watermark remover strips it. On video the marked area is reconstructed frame by frame, so expect a slight quality change there.
