About
Playlists are a great tool for organizing your content, such as videos, audio files and even documents. In Kaltura's Video Portal, you can create them from My Playlists, My Media, the Channel Edit page, or the +Create menu (the quickest path).
- You must have the Theming module enabled as well as the 'createplaylist' feature within it enabled. If you don't have Theming enabled, please refer to our article Create a playlist.
- If you can't create or add media to a playlist, ask your administrator to give you the required permission.
