How to Save Time and Organize Research Quickly with Notebook LM’s New Mobile Sharing Feature
Often you fight with many tabs, copy links, send emails to yourself, or take many screenshots to record web pages, PDFs, or videos. This work makes you feel stuck and wastes time. With Notebook LM—a smart AI notebook by Google that collects and shows research materials—there is a new mobile sharing tool that stops this busy work.
This update connects your phone and Notebook LM with one simple tap. You can send any webpage, PDF, or YouTube video directly to Notebook LM. No copying of links and no app switch. Saving and sorting your research becomes fast and clear. Here is why it matters and how you gain back hours each week.
What Is Notebook LM and Why Should You Care?
Notebook LM is an AI notebook that takes in websites, documents, and videos, then lets you ask questions and get clear answers from your content. Think of it as a small helper that reads your material and explains it in plain language or in detailed words.
Before this update, you copied a link, opened Notebook LM, pasted it, and waited as it loaded. This extra work slowed you down, especially on phones. That slow step made many stop using Notebook LM much as they might like.
What’s Changed with the New Update?
Now you can save content from nearly any phone app by using the share tool:
- • When you read an article on Safari or Chrome, tap the share button, choose Notebook LM, and then pick or start a notebook.
- • When you watch a YouTube video, tap share, pick Notebook LM, and the video joins your list so you can ask about it later.
- • When you view a PDF or research paper, open it on your phone, tap share, and add it to your notebook in a flash.
This tool quits the old steps and lets you catch information quickly. It keeps your work and thought in one flow.
How to Use Notebook LM’s Mobile Share for Maximum Efficiency
- Download the Notebook LM app on your iPhone or Android device—it is free.
- Find content to save on any app (browser, YouTube, file viewer).
- Tap the share icon that sits in the bottom or within a menu.
- Pick Notebook LM from the sharing list.
- Choose an existing notebook or start a new one. Give it a name that fits the topic.
- Your content joins your list as a source in seconds.
When added, you can ask Notebook LM questions that search only among your saved pieces. This step turns lost pages into one clear bank of knowledge. When you research a project, prepare a talk, or collect neat articles, this process works as a big time saver.
Beyond Saving: What Else Can You Do with Notebook LM?
- • Mix many sources: Put together articles, videos, and PDFs in one notebook and ask questions that run across them.
- • Build useful documents: Create guides to study, lists of questions and answers, brief notes, or easy tables from your collection.
- • Hear short audio talks: Two AI voices chat over your notebook’s content in everyday language, making hard topics plain.
- • Share your notebooks with others: Copy a link that shows your sources and lets friends chat with them. This is a good plan for research work or sharing facts.
Important Details and Limits You Should Know
- Mobile app parts do not match the desktop exactly. Some tools or settings live only on your computer.
- Public sharing is coming in steps; you may not see the option yet.
- Content you save stays as it was. If the original changes, your version does not update alone.
- Each notebook takes roughly 50 sources and has size rules—think about what you save.
