Assigning a video without a note scaffold turns into “I watched it” with no evidence. This page is a howto for teachers who need to finish a YouTube video paired with a PDF you already have. Run the YouTube tool on the video. Open the PDF in your own reader. Type the joins by hand, then approve the joined page. The finished page should look like this: You can point to a video minute and a PDF page for the same claim.
The PDF is your document. NoteLM does not ingest or parse PDF files today. You need outlines and checks for understanding you can hand to a class.
