Short answer: not by pasting a YouTube link into the Voice Library. To identify a voice, upload the audio or video file to the Voice Library’s “search by audio” tool; it will show the original voice if it exists in the public Voice Library, otherwise the closest matches.

How to do it:

  • Download the YouTube clip (or extract its audio), then on the Voice Library page click the upload icon or drag-and-drop the file.
  • For best results, upload speech-only audio; if needed, clean the clip first with Voice Isolator.

Notes:

  • This search only covers voices that are publicly available in the Voice Library (not private/custom voices).
  • If you specifically want to import a YouTube URL, that’s supported in Dubbing (for creating dubs), not for identification.

Likely causes (per ElevenLabs docs):

  • You dropped a URL, not a file. The Voice Library’s “identify by audio” only accepts uploaded audio/video files (drag-and-drop anywhere on the Voice Library page or use the upload icon). It does not take links. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • You weren’t on the Voice Library page. Go to Voices > Explore, then drop the file there. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • The clip doesn’t contain clean speech. Upload speech-only audio (no music/background noise). If needed, clean the clip with Voice Isolator first. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • You’re trying to match a private/custom voice. The search only checks the public Voice Library; custom voices aren’t searchable. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Notes:

  • If your source is a YouTube/TikTok URL, download the media and upload the file to Voice Library, or use Dubbing, which does accept direct video URLs. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Where to find the Voice Library:

How to use the audio search:

  • On Voice Library, click the upload icon next to the search bar or drag-and-drop an audio/video file; long clips aren’t required. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Short answer: MP4 uploads are only accepted in specific parts of ElevenLabs. If you’re trying to upload an MP4 where video isn’t supported (e.g., on the voice cloning page), convert it to audio (MP3 192 kbps+) and try again.

Where MP4 is accepted (and common reasons it “does nothing”):

  • Voice Library search: You can drag-and-drop an audio or video file to find the original/similar voices. For best results, upload speech-only; long clips aren’t required. If the clip is mostly music/noise, the search may not return matches. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Voice Changer: MP4 is supported, but inputs must be ≤5 minutes. If your video is longer, it won’t process. Trim it below 5 minutes and retry. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Dubbing: MP4 is supported, but web uploads must be ≤1 GB and ≤45 minutes (API: ≤1 GB and ≤2.5 hours). Exceeding either limit will block the upload. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Where you should not use MP4:

  • Voice Cloning: The Help Center recommends uploading audio, with MP3 192 kbps+ as the preferred format. If you tried to upload a video here, convert to MP3 and re-upload. (help.elevenlabs.io)

If you tell me which page/tool you’re on and your file’s length/size, I can point to the exact limit and the quickest fix from the docs. (help.elevenlabs.io)
