Does Workspace store my Gemini API key?
Does Workspace store my Gemini API key? No.
Free tools do not require signup. Workspace is optional after you approve keepers.
No. The Video Summarizer stores your Gemini key in the browser extension’s local storage for calls to Google. That is not a Workspace pin and not a NoteLM server vault. Workspace sign-in does not upload the key. Rotate the key in Google AI Studio if you want a new one.
Key lives with the extension, not with /note. NoteLM Workspace — turn YouTube and docs into a compounding notebook you approve.
