Video Playlist

About this tool

Video Playlist lets you line up YouTube videos for a lesson and play them one after another on the big screen, without the YouTube home page, comments or recommended videos distracting students. Make as many playlists as you like. They save automatically in this browser.

Best for: Teachers of any year level

How to use it

1. Copy a video's link from YouTube (the address bar, or Share → Copy) and paste it into the box. Paste lots at once, one per line, then press ＋ Add.
2. Drag the ⠿ handle, or use ▲ ▼, to put the videos in order. Click ✏️ to give a video a shorter, student-friendly name.
3. Click a video to play it. With Auto-next on, the next one starts when it finishes.
4. Press ⛶ Big screen to hide the list, or use YouTube's own full-screen button.
5. Press 🔗 Share link to copy a link to the playlist for a colleague or your class page.

Teaching tips

• Links with a start time (like ?t=90 or Share → Start at) will start the video from that point.
• Some video owners don't allow their videos to play on other websites. These show a ⚠ and are skipped.
• Videos stream straight from YouTube, so your school's YouTube settings and filters still apply.
• Keyboard shortcuts: N next video, B back, F big screen.
• Playlists are saved in this browser on this computer only. Use Share link to move a playlist to another computer.
