Create a channel playlist

About

Adding playlists to your channel is like organizing a playlist on your favorite music app - it helps you group and showcase content under different themes or topics. For instance, you might have playlists like "Lesson Plan", "Campaign Highlights", or "Leaderboard". You can pick videos from My Media or your channel and add them to these playlists. These playlists get their own spot in a special tab called 'Playlists'. To dig deeper, check out our article Access a Channel Playlist.

Watch the video below for quick and easy steps, or following the instructions below.
