Create a channel playlist


About

Adding playlists to your channel is a great way to organize and display content for different topics within the channel for example, "Lesson Plan", "Campaign Highlights", "Leaderboard" etc. You can select videos from My Media or from the channel itself and add them to the channel playlist. The channel playlists are displayed in a dedicated tab named 'Playlists', to learn more, see Access a Channel Playlist.

This guide demonstrates the Theming Feature Set. For the setup guide, check out the Theming module.

Notes  
 -  Existing playlists may not be added to a channel playlist.
 - Kaltura Video Quizzes can only be added to a playlist in applications where the main playlist player is set to a v7 player.  To replace your player see KMS and KAF player V7 replacement tool.
