Playlists aren’t new concepts, and we’re used to them on most music players. YouTube offers a similar queue system where you can save your favorite videos as a collection and play them in order. You can create a playlist for humorous videos, cooking recipes, or video game walkthroughs and binge through them on your preferred tablets, smartphones, and computers.

YouTube playlists are a fun way to organize your interests and share them with the public if you wish. This feature is promising if you’re a content creator and want better engagement and visibility. Fans can watch your content in episodic sequence and aren’t forced to find videos themselves. In this article, we show you a step-by-step guide on how to curate playlists on your YouTube account.



What is a YouTube playlist?

A YouTube playlist is a group of videos you collect and organize based on a theme or category. Most times, it contains videos from other YouTubers. But you can also upload your own videos and add them to the collection. You can make a playlist for your favorite tutorials, movie reviews, music videos, or comedy skits.

The playlist exists in your YouTube channel, which enables you to upload videos, comment, and perform other actions. Without a channel, you can’t create a playlist or interact with most features on the platform, even when you have a Google account. If you haven’t already, you can create one in a few minutes.

In one playlist, you can add up to 5,000 YouTube videos. You can even have the same video in multiple playlists, so there’s no pressure to choose where to save it. If you want to determine who sees it and who can’t, change your playlist’s privacy settings in the following ways:

  • Public: Anyone on YouTube or the internet can search for and view your playlist.
  • Unlisted: Only people you’ve shared your playlist’s link to can view it.
  • Private: Only you can watch your playlist videos.

Third parties can collaborate on your YouTube playlist when you change its privacy settings to Public or Unlisted. This way, people can add videos of their choice to it.

How to create a playlist on YouTube

Creating a YouTube Playlist is possible on the mobile app for Android and iPhone. PC browsers are also an option. Professional content creators can use their YouTube Studio account to create one. However, you can’t save videos tagged as Made for Kids to playlists from the YouTube homepage, both on the app or website. The only way to work around this restriction is to search for the video, then add it from the results. Use the following steps to get started.

Create a YouTube playlist on the mobile app

  1. Open YouTube.
  2. Tap Library in the lower-right corner.
  3. Under Playlists, select New playlist.
  4. Tap the checkboxes to add videos you’ve recently watched to your playlist. Then tap Next.
  5. Give your playlist a title and choose a privacy setting. Tap Create to finish.
  6. To use another method, search for a video from the app’s homepage. Then tap the video to play it.
  7. Swipe the options below the uploader’s name to the left. Then long-press the Save button.
