Collaborate on playlists

30/11/2019
If you aren't able to follow these instructions, you are likely using the old version of YouTube. If you're using a newer browser, update to the current version of YouTube.

You can let your friends contribute videos to your playlist. When you turn this on, anyone that you share a playlist link with can add videos to that playlist (and remove videos they add, too).

Before you start, create a playlist. If you need help with this, follow these steps to create a playlist.

Add collaborators to a playlist

Add collaborators to your playlists

  1. On a computer, go to your Playlists page. Get there by clicking your account icon in the top right > Creator Studio. On the left, click Video Manager > Playlists.
  2. Next to the playlist you want to collaborate on, click Edit.
  3. You may need to click Edit again.
  4. Click Share.
  5. Check the box that says "Allow people with the link to add videos."
  6. Copy the unique link for your playlist and share it with the people you want to collaborate with.

Tip: If you want to go back and add collaborators after you create a playlist, just go to that playlist, click Playlist settings > Collaborate tab, and select Collaborators can add videos to this playlist.

Any time videos are added or removed from the playlist or new collaborators join, the playlist owner will get a notification.

Contribute videos to a playlist

Once you’ve been invited to contribute to a playlist, you can add videos or remove videos that you added in the past.

Add videos

  1. Use the link you got from the playlist owner to go the playlist page.
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm that you want to be a contributor. The playlist will be automatically saved.
  3. To add videos from your computer or a mobile device, use one of these options:
    • On the playlist page, select Add Video and paste in a video URL, choose a video from your uploads, or search for a video on YouTube.
    • Go to a video you want to add and select the Add to menu from that video.

After you add a video, your name will appear next to the video in the playlist. All collaborators will get a notification when new videos are added to the playlist.

Remove videos

  1. Use the link you got from the playlist owner to go the playlist page.
  2. Hover over the video you want to remove.
  3. Click X to remove the video.

Note: You can only remove videos that you added to the playlist (not other collaborators' additions).
