Pull every question your audience asked in the comments of any YouTube video, grouped by how often it comes up. Your next video ideas are already in the comment section.
Most creators plan content backwards. They guess at keywords, chase trends, and hope the algorithm agrees. Meanwhile the most reliable source of video ideas sits unread under every upload: the questions your viewers are already asking. This free question finder reads up to 500 of the highest engagement comments on any YouTube video, detects every genuine question, and ranks the topics by how many people asked about them.
Question mining works because a question is a stronger signal than a view or a like. Someone who types out a question is telling you two things at once: they care enough to engage, and the video they wanted does not exist yet. When seven different people ask a version of the same thing, that is not noise. That is a validated video topic with a built in audience who have effectively pre requested it.
Compare that with keyword research. Search tools tell you what strangers type into a search box, averaged across everyone on the internet. Your comment section tells you what your actual audience, the people who already watch and subscribe, want from you specifically. Answering their questions compounds too. Viewers who see their question turned into a video comment more, share more, and stick around longer.
Turning the list into a schedule is simple. Run this tool on your last three or four uploads and paste each list into your notes with Copy All Questions. Questions asked many times become full videos. Questions asked once or twice become Shorts, community posts, or pinned comment replies. Sort the full list by how often each question appears and you have a content calendar for the next month, built entirely from demand you have already proven.
Some videos are richer mines than others. Tutorials and how to videos generate the most questions, because viewers hit a step that does not work for their setup. Reviews attract comparison questions like whether they should buy this or the alternative. Q&A and commentary videos produce follow ups. If your first extraction comes back thin, try a video where people are solving a problem rather than passively watching.
Everything here runs on simple keyword matching, which is exactly why it is free and unlimited. The tool groups questions that share the same words. It cannot tell that two differently worded questions mean the same thing. When you want grouping by meaning, question tracking across your whole channel, and the sentiment behind the asks, that is what a VideoVibe Community Pulse report is for. Start with this free list, and upgrade when the list starts driving your calendar.

Yes. The Viewer Questions Extractor is completely free with no signup required, up to a fair use limit of 10 extractions per hour. It is built by VideoVibe.io, the YouTube comment analysis platform.
No account is needed. Paste a YouTube link and click Find the Questions. An account only becomes useful when you want deeper analysis, like full Community Pulse reports or channel wide tracking.
It reads up to 500 of the highest engagement top level comments on the video, ordered by relevance. Higher engagement comments are the most likely to contain real questions from your audience.
A comment counts as a question if it contains a question mark, starts with a question word like how, what, or why, or contains a creator directed request like can you or make a video. Short comments, engagement bait like who else is watching, timestamps, and emoji spam are filtered out.
Grouping is done by matching shared keywords, not by meaning, so occasionally two questions about different things that share words end up together. That tradeoff keeps the tool free and instant. Semantic grouping by meaning is part of the paid Community Pulse report.
Not with this free tool, which reads one video at a time using keyword based grouping. VideoVibe Pro connects your whole channel, reads up to 5,000 comments per video, groups questions by meaning with AI, and tracks what your audience asks over time. See the Pro plan.
