Playlists are a great way to group together the video content that you
produce either on your channel or you collect from other channels. I'll show
you how simple it is to create a playlist and organize your videos. Here
we go. So playlists is one of the features that's
not yet been migrated over to the YouTube studio the beta version there so
this is how it works within video manager. You go to playlists and you just
simply click on new playlist by default it's going to be a public one
Now let's say LinkedIn collection I'll change that to unlisted so that
potentially I can share it with other people but they would have to have the
direct link and it won't be therefore visible when someone comes to your page
etc So there's no videos in there at the moment so what you need to do is edit
there is an opportunity to add a description if you wish or you can just
simply get on with adding videos. So if I say add videos you can either search for
it if it's going to be through your own YouTube videos that's a useful
option to click on so your YouTube videos and of course select ones relating to linkedin
these ones here for example select those two and say add videos
and then we just need to wait till it's refreshed. Okay so now there's an
opportunity to create some playlist settings and you can choose whether or
not you order them in the order they're added so the newest added goes to the
top or the most popular goes to the top or you just select manual. That's the
auto add option where you can set some rules
if the title contains LinkedIn you can have that rule and save that and you can say
add six recent videos that match this rule and then say done. You can actually edit
the order in which they appear just by clicking next to each particular video
where it says more and you can say move to the top or move to the bottom so it's
a bit of a one at a time if you've got one that you want to be
second then you have to move it to the top and then move another one above it.
that kind of thing But once that playlist is there you can say play all
and it will play one at a tiime through each video in the list you can take that
playlist as unlisted or public you can just copy that and share it on your
dashboard on your channel page you can also choose to add playlist to it so
here you can click on any that I've already got so I've got some created
playlists there's already actually a Linkedin one there but these are published
on my page so a new visitor comes to the page and they can scroll down and see
various lists to choose from. And if you wanted to add other content from other
providers to your own playlists you could do that as well so if I now search
for LinkedIn tips on LinkedIn click through to the video and you look for
this icon here which is save to or add to click on that and if I now put that in
LinkedIn collection that will be added to that other playlist
that I created a short while ago so now if I return to video
manager and then say playlist I could see all the ones I've created the most recent
one let's click through to that and here I can see again edit and that will
allow me to add or remove any videos reorder them in some way again by
selecting that one and moving it to the top lots of different options.
So that's playlists on YouTube there may well be changes fairly soon with the way
they're organized within the new YouTube studio beta but that's how you work with
them today. It's a great idea even if you don't have that much video content
yourself if you have relevant content you could put into playlists from
elsewhere why not do that. I'm Paul from PR Wilson media your social media
