Video memory: how Recall handles videos

How Flocci Recall saves and understands videos: where they come from, what AI extracts, and the kind of fuzzy query that finds them again.

Direct answer

Recall treats videos as a first-class content type with their own accent colour, their own filter chip and their own enrichment path. Recall fetches the official oEmbed record (title, channel, thumbnail, embed HTML), then runs AI enrichment. Once a video is saved you can find it by describing it — the summary, key takeaways, topics, entities and bilingual keywords are all searchable.

Where videos come from

Recall files a save as a video when it arrives from YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, any /videos/ or watch URL.

What Recall builds around a video

Recall fetches the official oEmbed record (title, channel, thumbnail, embed HTML), then runs AI enrichment. When a transcription endpoint is configured it also pulls a verbatim ASR transcript, in whatever language the video was spoken in, and stores it as searchable text.

Queries that find videos again

These are the shapes of query Recall is built for — vague, human, and about meaning rather than metadata.

The honest bit

Recall stores a reference and the understanding it built — it never downloads the video file and never circumvents a login wall.

Questions about videos in Recall

How does Recall know something is a video?

From the URL and the content itself, before any AI runs. Video detection sits in a deliberately ordered signal list so more specific rules win — and where a fact is available, such as a file extension or the absence of a URL, the fact beats any AI inference.

What does Recall extract from a video?

Recall fetches the official oEmbed record (title, channel, thumbnail, embed HTML), then runs AI enrichment. When a transcription endpoint is configured it also pulls a verbatim ASR transcript, in whatever language the video was spoken in, and stores it as searchable text.

What can I search for to find a video again?

Describe it. Real queries that work include "that video about the Japanese productivity method", "the YouTube explainer on UPI charges", "video where he talks about sleep and magnesium". Recall interprets the description into concepts, ranks your whole library, and narrates what it found in one sentence.

Is anything about videos handled differently?

Recall stores a reference and the understanding it built — it never downloads the video file and never circumvents a login wall.
