Lince teaches Spanish with real videos. Here is exactly how we use them and what your subscription pays for.
Where do the videos come from?
Every clip plays through YouTube's official embedded player. The videos are published openly on YouTube by their owners; Lince never copies, re-hosts or downloads them. We only use videos whose owners have enabled embedding — the YouTube setting that lets other sites show a video so it reaches a wider audience.
Do creators lose anything when their video plays in Lince?
No — they gain. The clip plays in YouTube's own player exactly as it does on YouTube: the owner's ads run unchanged, every play counts as a view for the channel, and ad revenue goes to the creator as usual. Lince never modifies the player, covers it, or interferes with ads. We also honor every regional restriction an owner sets, and we regularly check our whole catalog: a video that is removed, restricted or embed-disabled on YouTube is removed from Lince as well.
What does a Lince subscription pay for?
The learning layer we build ourselves: accurate transcripts of every scene (we transcribe the audio and check it by hand), translations and word-by-word glosses, key-sentence drills, quizzes, spaced-repetition review, and a structured course from A1 to B1. None of that exists on YouTube — it is what turns a great video into a lesson. The A1 course is free.
Is this allowed?
YouTube's terms let any site or app show a video through the official embedded player when its owner has enabled embedding. Lince keeps the player and its ads untouched and follows YouTube's rules for embedded playback. Our subscription covers our own teaching materials, which are not available on YouTube.
I own a video shown in Lince and want it removed
Email us with a link to the video and proof of ownership — we remove verified videos promptly. Videos that become unavailable on YouTube are removed automatically.
