Create a Collaborative YouTube Playlist

Today I want to show you a very simple way for a group of users to share a YouTube playlist. In a previous article, we looked at how to broadcast YouTube playlists on Apple TV. We wanted to find a solution to let our students quickly create a YouTube playlist as a team. This new skill will allow you to build a collaborative YouTube Playlist so students can add their own videos to a class project.

Collaborate on a YouTube Playlist

Create a YouTube Playlist

First you need to create a YouTube playlist:

1. Go to YouTube and login to your account.
2. On the lefthand sidebar, click on Playlists. If you do not see the left sidebar yet, click on the settings button (the 3 bars by YouTube logo in the top left handside of the page) to show it.
3. At the top of the page, click on the button labeled “+ New playlist” to create a YouTube playlist.

Share a Link to your Collaborative YouTube Playlist

To turn your YouTube playlist into a playlist you can share with other:

1. Click on one of your YouTube playlists.
2. Click on Playlist settings.
3. Click on the Collaborate tab.
4. Click on the button to engage the option Invited people can add videos to the playlist.
5. Click on Get invite link.
6. Copy the invite link and click on Save.

You can now send the invite link to anyone to give them the ability to add videos to your YouTube playlist.
