Autoplay ​

You can toggle video autoplay in YouGlish:

  • When enabled, videos start playing automatically when you open the YouGlish source.
  • When disabled (default), you'll need to click the play button to start the video.

Autoplay is disabled – click the play button to start the video.

Daily Limits ​

YouGlish imposes a limit of 20 searches per day on free accounts. Once you reach this limit, you'll need to wait until the next day to perform additional searches.

For more searches, you can subscribe to YouGlish Premium. Pricing varies based on your daily search volume, ranging from €3 per month to €30 per month for unlimited searches.

Definer has no control over these limits, as they're set by YouGlish. It's worth noting that a search only counts toward your daily limit when you open specifically the YouGlish source. Using Definer without switching to YouGlish from the sidebar won't affect your quota.
