Tips. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tip 1: You can search for videos with subs on the channel page by scrolling down to upload previews and then searching for “CC”. To scroll down quicker press the End button multiple times. Tested in Chrome.

Tip 2: When LingQ fails to import audio from YouTube video, use https://ytmp3.cc (use AdBlock) or similar service to save and upload audio to the lesson manually.

Tip 3: You can use the Filter/Subtitles option when searching for videos on YouTube. For example here is a request for “Fotografie”: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=“Fotografie”&sp=EgIoAQ%253D%253D

Thank you for the interesting channel, subscribed. Though, I won’t add it to the list because there’re no CCs. One video has subs, I’ll import it: StadtteilportrĂ€t Berlin Neukölln - YouTube

Um, might want to check again.

No CC on the videos, but still good content. Thank you.

Hmm, strange, almost every single video I’ve opened has an option for CC, there were a couple that didn’t.

I just opened that channel in IE, Chrome, and Firefox, and Safari, they all have hte CC option when you mouse over the video.
