How to use playlists and collections?
Click the "Save" button under a video (on the web) or on the right side of the video (in the app), then pick an existing playlist or create a new one. Creators can also manage playlists in Creator Studio (web only). Accounts are limited to 4 collections — a premium membership removes the limit.
To save a video, click the "Save" button under the video on the web, or on the right side of the video in the app, then select an already-created playlist or create a new one by entering a title and choosing its access setting. Creators can also build playlists in Creator Studio: click the playlist icon in the left menu, click "Add new", fill in the title and privacy, then open the playlist and use "Add videos". Note that each account can have a maximum of 4 collections; subscribing to a premium membership removes this limit.

Add videos to a Creator Studio playlist
Click the playlist to open it, then click the "Add videos" button in the upper-right corner of the page and add the videos you want — they will now appear in the playlist.
Remove a video from a collection#
- On a computer: open the video you want to un-save, click the "Save" button under the video, then click "Watch Later" or the name of the folder you set up to remove the orange mark in front of it.
- In the app: tap "Library" at the bottom-right of the screen. Each video has three dots below it — find the video you want to un-save, tap the three dots, and select "Delete".
Delete a collection#
- Log in to your account, click the avatar icon in the upper-right corner, then go to "My Channel".
- Click "Collections".
- Find and click the three-dot menu (⋯) or the collection settings option.
- Click the "Delete" button.
Collection limits#
Each account can have a maximum of 4 collections. If you subscribe to a premium membership, this limit no longer applies — you can create as many collections as you want.
