How to Create a Video Playlist on YouTube With Embed Codes
YouTube lets you create video playlists from your own videos, videos others have created or a blend of the two. Your playlists appear along with your own videos on your YouTube channel. Clicking a playlist plays the videos and displays a progress bar along the bottom edge of the screen. Users can click the playlist name in the progress bar to view the playlist page. By default, an "Embed" button appears on that page. Users can click the button to reveal and copy the embed code for pasting into a blog or website.
