Promote Your Playlists

• 

Creating or adding videos to a playlist will be published to your feed,

notifying your subscribers. Adding to your playlists is another way to
be active on your feed and broadcast your content.

• 

Upload a video to introduce the playlist to your subscribers and use

annotations, messaging, and links to get them to watch it.

• 

Feature playlists on your channel page and embed on your site.

• 

Encourage your audience to comment on your playlists as their

comments will include a link to your playlist.

Optimized Playlists & Video Responses

• 

Utilize metadata strategies and keywords when titling and writing a

description for playlists.

• 

You can reorder videos to create the best linear viewing experience

for your audience.

• 

Attribute videos included in your playlist to their creators by linking to

them in your description.

• 

Manage video responses on your videos. Users can set video

response to your content, if you want, or you can restrict to just your
own content.

• 

Using Video Responses allows you to populate the space around

your videos with your own related content.

• 

Ask viewers to submit video responses as a form of viewer

interaction.

(Example of Playlist Experience)

Viewer Comment on Playlist

Use the right urls when promoting videos from a playlist or
entire playlists. To link to a video in ‘autoplay playlist
mode,’ make sure the url includes “&list=”. You can get
the right url from your playlist page’s ‘Share’ widget. A
video url set to play within a playlist looks something like:
youtube.com/watch?v=xxxx&list=xxxx.
