Working perfect for me now using chrome extension on Mac . I have to say even with the constant problems LingQ seems to have its still damn good . The captions it generates are way more accurate than youtube auto ones from what I have seen so far ( e.g Youtube captions say RCN , LingQ says reciƩn)

@zoran I have imported youtube videos that are member-only accessible from channels I am a member of. However, I am not able to watch them in LingQ. It tells me that I need to become a channel member, which I am already.
My healing meditation YouTube has re-appeared today, on Mac desktop/Firefox.
Thanks, brother! Youāre improving my quality of life.

I think itās time to breakup with Lingq. I signed up for a year because I could import. But that feature hasnāt really worked properly since I started paying. We keep hearing itās being worked on - we get our hopes up, then itās back to the same thing. Just like a bad relationship.
This app has done the opposite of what I was hoping it would do as I continue to fall further behind on my studies. Instead of trying to learn a new language Iām busy trying to find ways to make it work as it should or trying to keep up in the forums to find out whatās happening.
There was so much promise, but itās all turned into a disappointing waste of time.

I think Iāll stick with Lingq, but Iāll use it for text-only. If I want to watch videos in my target language, there are other apps for that.
Iāve been using Lingq for six months and Iāve never been able to import a video.
This should be fixed now. Thanks for reporting the problem.

Was this ever fixed? It doesnāt work for me on a macbook?
I genuinely like lingq but this makes it extremely frustrating to use.

It worked for me just now. Iām on the Edge browser. I didnāt update the extension. Choose automated transcript and selected the user created subtitles on the video. It worked in a matter of a few seconds.

Itās ridiculously frustrating. Without the import from YouTube Iām basically paying for nothing. Iām out of Portuguese content I want to watch so to continue my streak I have to watch stuff Iām not interested in, which isnāt particularly helpful and it just becomes a chore. Please get this fixed!
Iāve tried both Chrome with the extension and Safari with the extension on my MacBook as well as the app on iPhone which tells me to check my internet connection.

This point exactly! Lingqās selling point on youtube is - āwatch things youāre interested inā by importing content - it will keep you motivated.
You can see in my stats exactly when this feature is down because all of a sudden my usage is way down. Iām guessing thatās the same for many people on here.

I regularly import lots of videos to cope with these situations.
