How to make a YouTube Playlist

previous left arrow button next right arrow button
Have you seen a YouTube Playlist like this? Well, it's my own version of playlist available in YouTube. I tweaked its size since YouTube will show a white space if you tend to resize the videos but if you like the default length and width, it's quite bigger and occupies much area when you embed it into your page.


This post will show you how to make a YouTube playlist, have an option to play it automatic or not and rearrange the videos in your desired type.


1. First Sign-in with your YouTube account or Sign-up if you don't have an account yet.
2. Browse any videos you like, then click Playlist as shown and choose New Playlist from a drop-down list box that will appear.



3. Repeat this step 2 if you like to add more videos.
4. Now, go to your account and choose Custom Video Players.

5. Click the Create Custom Player button and fill-up the form fields. You can choose different templates and themes there. Be sure to choose one of the available Playlist you've just created in the Content.
6. Generate the code. Copy and paste it in your page.

Now, if you like to adjust its size without comprising its space. Copy the red highlighted code.
<object width="746" height="413"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFM9AQgScuX0KNHB61Sfd_dPTXuL9HKX7rQ="></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFM9AQgScuX0KNHB61Sfd_dPTXuL9HKX7rQ=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="746" height="413"></embed></object>
Then replace the blue codes. You can add "&autoplay=1" in the end part if you like to play the videos automatically. You can also edit the width and height of your playlist.

<div align="center">
<b>My YouTube Playlist</b>
<object allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal" width='425' height='270'><param allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal" name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFM9AQgScuX0KNHB61Sfd_dPTXuL9HKX7rQ='>
</param>
<param allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal" name='wmode' value='transparent'>
</params><embed allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal" src='http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFM9AQgScuX0KNHB61Sfd_dPTXuL9HKX7rQ=&autoplay=1' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='270'></embed></object></div>

Now, if you have already the playlist and you decide to arrange the videos according to your likeness. Say, the first video to appear and play must be this video and that video should be in the end.  Visit this link http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists or you can go to your Youtube account > Playlists. To rearrange, just click any number displayed on the Position column and enter your desired number.

Done! Try my playlist I've tweaked.
