Frequently Asked Questions.

Everything you need to know about Breefly

How does Breefly condense videos?

Breefly analyzes your video's transcript to identify and remove filler, tangents, and repetition, keeping only the content that matters. The result: the fastest way to learn from long videos without missing key concepts.

What video platforms are supported?

Breefly works with Youtube, Panopto, and Kaltura on the extension, and supports the previous platforms as well as direct uploads (.mp4, .mov, .avi, .mkv, .webm) on our website. Paste a link, add our extension, or upload a file and processing starts in seconds.

Is the free plan really free?

Yes. Every user gets 5 hours of lifetime processing for free, no credit card required. When you're ready for more, Pro starts at just $9.99 per month with unlimited features. Students with a .edu email get a 1-month free trial of Pro—just add a card and cancel anytime before the trial ends.

How accurate is the AI condensation?

Breefly is built specifically for educational content and is designed to preserve 100% of the core ideas from lectures. It intelligently removes 40 to 60% of low-value moments, such as long pauses, repeated explanations, and off-topic tangents, so students can learn faster without losing essential understanding or context.

How is Breefly different from other notes and study tools?

Most study tools summarize videos into text and you lose the video entirely. Breefly edits the video itself, so you can search, skim, and study from the original content. Think of it as Control-F for video learning.
