Marking words while watching Youtube videos on LingQ?

Support & Feedback Forum

I’m not sure if I’m missing something here but I don’t see a way to be able to quickly create LingQs while watching a Youtube video with the video playing.

I can enter sentence mode and it’s virtually exactly what I’m looking for. It has the video playing and I can mark words while the video plays. But in this mode the video pauses every single sentence and I have to manually go next. Incredibly annoying and unusable.

In the normal video player, it has the video and text which is nice but I have to enter page view or setence view to create LingQs. In page view the sound plays but not the video.

Anyone have solutions to this? I want to be able to watch like normal and create LingQs/mark words as known while I’m watching

You aren’t missing anything. At the moment that is how it works. We’ll see what we can do to improve this in the future.

I would also love to see improvements in this feature, as video content has become a substantial element in recent years. It would be amazing to select individual words to create a lingq and then have the video automatically play again!

Agreed. Feels like it would be a massive massive win for LingQ. For now I don’t really watch videos using LingQ because of this
