Receipts

Receipts are timestamped, rich-text annotations tied to specific moments in YouTube videos. They're the core building block of Vid Receipts — think of them as sticky notes pinned to exact moments in a video. Whether you're fact-checking a claim, highlighting a key quote, or adding helpful context, receipts let you turn passive watching into active engagement.

Receipts can include formatted text, images, GIFs, and even embedded video links. Once posted, other users can vote on your receipts, leave comments, and build on your annotations — creating a collaborative knowledge layer on top of any video.
