For creators

Overheard helps people learn new languages by listening to native speakers talk about real topics. If your video is in Overheard, here's what that means for you.

Your video plays on YouTube, with your ads and your views

Every video plays through YouTube's own embedded player, unchanged: your ads run, the views count, and your name, a link to your channel and “Watch on YouTube” are shown alongside the video description, sending more users to your website, merch, and affiliates. Any signed in user can watch any video for free; what learners pay for is our own practice (questions, word practice, progress), never the video.

We never download your videos

We don't download, copy or store your video or its audio. To write listening questions, we use Google and YouTube's APIs in line with their terms of service.

Working with us

We offer an affiliate program for creators - you can give your viewers free subscriptions to Overheard and take a percentage of their subscription fees. Write to us if you're interested!

Opt out

The full detail is in our terms for creators whose videos we use.
