Playlists

Create, edit, and delete playlists

With playlists, you can put a series of videos all in one handy place. For example, you could create a playlist of all of our favorite music videos or sports clips, then watch them together. 

Add videos to playlists

Click the Add to link underneath a video to add it to a playlist. You can add it to a playlist that already exists, or you can create a new one. (The maximum number of playlists you can create is 200).

Add to playlist

Edit, reorder, and manage playlists

Make changes to your playlists by visiting your Video Manager:
  1. Click your username in the upper right corner
  2. Click Video Manager
  3. Click Playlists on the left side of the page
  4. Click the Edit button next to the playlist you’d like to edit
  5. Click Done to save any changes you’ve made
Reorder videos: Reorder videos in your playlist by hovering your mouse over the video until you see a grey vertical bar to the left of the video. Click the grey bar, then drag and drop the video to rearrange it.

Delete playlists and videos from playlist

To delete an entire playlist:

Follow the steps above to edit your playlist, then click the Delete Playlist icon at the top of the page.

To remove a video from a playlist:

Check the box next to the video you want to delete, click the Actions drop-down button, then Remove videos from playlist.

Watching playlists:

Access your own playlists by clicking on your username in the upper right corner and picking a playlist.

While watching a playlist, skip from video to video by clicking the skip backward and forward buttons at the top right of the menu next to your video.

With the autoplay button  on, videos will play in sequence and repeat when the playlist is finished. Click the button to turn this on or off.
