Have you ever wanted to keep a list of your favorite music videos in one place?
YouTube has made this easy with its playlists feature.
Whether you want to create a running list of content or just curate your own personal mixtape, it’s easy to do so on YouTube.
In this article, we’ll show you how to enable playlists on YouTube and start organizing your favorite tracks into playlists.
How to enable playlists on YouTube
- To enable playlists on YouTube, simply click the three-dot menu button in the upper-right corner of your browser window and select “Settings.”
- Under “General” you’ll find a section called “Playlist autoplay” that lets you choose whether or not to have playlist songs auto-play one after another when they are added to a queue. You’ll also see an option for saving your YouTube playlist offline so that it can be viewed even if there’s no internet connection available.
- If you’d like to add a song to your current playlist and don’t want to go through the hassle of creating a new one from scratch (or uploading it), simply highlight the track and click on “Add To” below its thumbnail image on YouTube’s website page interface (see Figure 1). From here you can browse through all existing playlists by clicking either Albums or My Playlists at which point everything should become much more intuitive once again: simply click an album cover icon followed by selecting either New Playlist or Edit Listing – whichever suits best!
