Remove the NotebookLM Video Watermark and Ending Screen: Step-by-Step Guide

To remove the NotebookLM video watermark, upload your exported MP4 to our free NotebookLM Video Watermark Remover - it strips the persistent overlay logo and trims the 2.5-second branded ending screen in one pass, entirely in your browser.

NotebookLM's Video Overview feature creates compelling AI-narrated presentations from your research - but every video comes with two watermark problems that make publishing them look unprofessional. This guide shows you exactly how to remove the NotebookLM video watermark and branded ending screen, leaving a clean MP4 ready for any platform. This also applies to the newer Cinematic Video Overview format.

The Two NotebookLM Video Watermarks You Need to Remove

1. The Overlay Logo Watermark

A semi-transparent "NotebookLM" logo sits in the bottom-right corner of every frame throughout the entire video. This is the persistent logo watermark - it doesn't appear only at the start or end, it's present for the complete duration of the video.

This becomes a problem when your video has any content in the bottom-right area - text labels, subtitles, lower-thirds, or data visualisations. The watermark overlaps and obscures that content.

2. The Ending Screen

Every NotebookLM Video Overview ends with a full-screen branded outro approximately 2.5 seconds long. This screen displays "Made with NotebookLM" in large text against the NotebookLM brand background. For content creators, this is particularly disruptive because:

• It appears after your actual content ends, breaking narrative flow
• YouTube viewers see it before your end cards or subscribe prompts
• TikTok and Instagram viewers may swipe away during the 2.5-second branded pause
• It looks like an ad for Google's product on your content channel

Step-by-Step: Remove the NotebookLM Video Watermark

Step 1 - Download Your NotebookLM Video

In NotebookLM, open your notebook and go to the Video Overview section. Click the download button to save your video as an MP4 file. Note the file size - a typical 3–5 minute NotebookLM video is 50–200 MB.

Step 2 - Open the Video Watermark Remover

Visit our NotebookLM Video Watermark Remover. The tool runs in your browser - you do not need to install any video editing software. It works on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

Step 3 - Upload Your MP4

Drag and drop your NotebookLM MP4 file onto the upload area. The tool will analyse the video to identify the overlay logo position and detect the ending screen timestamp.

Step 4 - Process

Click the Remove Watermark button. The tool simultaneously:

• Removes the persistent logo overlay from every frame of the video
• Trims the branded ending screen from the end of the video

Processing time depends on video length but is typically 1–3 minutes for a standard NotebookLM video in the browser.

Step 5 - Download Your Clean Video

Click Download to save your cleaned MP4. The output maintains the original video quality, resolution (typically 1080p), and audio. Your video is now ready to upload anywhere.

Platform-Specific Tips After Watermark Removal

Uploading to YouTube

Your clean NotebookLM video is ready to upload. If the video contains AI-generated content (which NotebookLM videos do), YouTube requires you to disclose this using their "Altered or synthetic content" label. This is separate from the visual watermark - remove the watermark but always apply the disclosure label to stay compliant with YouTube's policies.

Uploading to TikTok

TikTok has a maximum video length depending on your account tier. Check that your cleaned NotebookLM video fits the limit. TikTok also has AI content disclosure requirements - use their built-in label when uploading.

Instagram Reels

Instagram Reels has a 90-second maximum length for standard accounts. Most NotebookLM Video Overviews are longer than this. You may want to trim your video to a highlight clip after watermark removal. If you're working with a NotebookLM Audio Overview exported as video, see our podcast-to-video watermark removal guide for platform tips specific to that format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does removing the ending screen change the video's audio?

No. The ending screen is a silent or music-only section. Trimming it does not affect the narrated audio content of your video.

Can I remove the watermark from a NotebookLM Podcast video?

Yes. NotebookLM Audio Overview videos (podcast-format videos) also contain the overlay watermark and ending screen. The same tool handles both Video Overview and Audio Overview video exports.

Is there any quality loss?

The video overlay removal is designed to be visually clean. The ending screen trim is a clean cut with no re-encoding of the remaining video content, so the main video quality is unaffected.
