Create & manage playlists

You can go to theYoutabto view all of your playlists. You can alsomanage your playlists in YouTube Studio.

If a video or channel’s audience is "made for kids" and you’re on a homepage, you can't add it to a playlist. You can still add content from search results into playlists.
