This short tutorial shows how to create and manage a playlist in YouTube Studio (studio.youtube.com). It walks through: opening the Create menu and selecting New playlist; naming the playlist and writing a description; choosing visibility (Public, Private, or Unlisted); selecting a video ordering method (newest→oldest, oldest→newest, most popular, or manual); adding videos to the playlist; and locating the created playlist under Content → Playlists to edit details, view videos, or see analytics.

To make a playlist in YouTube, go to your YouTube studio dashboard studio.YouTube.com and at the top right corner you'll see this Create button. Click on that. Come down to the new playlist option, click on that and you'll give your playlist a name. So I'll call this one Demo Playlist and then you'll give it a description. And I'll say this is the playlist where people can see videos of the same category, something like that. And then you can choose if this is going to be public, meaning anyone can see it, it's going to be linked on your channel, it's going to be easy to find. Private, meaning no one can see it except you. Unlisted, meaning someone has to have the link to this playlist in order to see it. And then you set the video order so they can be ordered by the date that the videos inside of this playlist were published. So from newest to oldest or oldest to newest or most popular, meaning the ones that have the most views to the ones that have the least views, or the last one is manually sorted where you can choose how these videos appear, I'm going to leave it on that. And then you can choose Add Videos. And this is where you can choose the videos that are going to go into this playlist. And you can type in here any video you want. Let me see if I have anything, I don't have anything called Demo. I'm just going to pick my most recent five videos like that, and it adds it to the list. So this is what's going to be inside of my playlist. I'll hit Done, I'll hit Create and Playlist Created. And if I go to Content on the left side up here on the top, you can see these different tabs. Click on the one that says Playlists, and there's the one I just created, Demo Playlist. And if I click on Details, I can change the title, I can change the description, the visibility, et cetera. If I click on videos, I can see the five videos that I just added, and I can see the analytics for this playlist by clicking down here. So that's how to create your playlist in YouTube.
