How to Add a Video to a YouTube Playlist

The immensely popular free video-sharing website YouTube has been catering to the entertainment needs of millions of Internet users around the globe since its inception in February 2005. With such a huge variety of content to choose from, users hardly find themselves growing weary of the website.

In order to make the YouTube experience even more satisfying, one should create a personal playlist. From there on, all one needs to do is add a video they like to their playlist and easily access them later instead of having to browse through the search results. Additionally, adding videos to a playlist allows them to be played back-to-back rather than having to select the next video manually.

The process of adding videos to a YouTube playlist is a really simple one.

Things Required:

– Computer
– Internet connectivity
– YouTube account

Instructions

  • 1

    Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet. While a slow Internet connection would serve the purpose, it would take a toll on the overall viewing experience because of the frequent buffering. Therefore, try to get an Internet with good speed.

    Open your Web browser and go to youtube.com. Sign in using your username and password to get full features of the websites. If you do not have a registered account on YouTube, you will neither be able to use the playlist feature, nor view age-restricted videos. Therefore, be sure to create an account on the website. It would hardly take you 3 to 4 minutes to get done with the account-making process.
