Hit Play: Brands That Excel On YouTube Playlists

What Are YouTube Playlists?

The YouTube playlist feature is a convenient tool which allows channel owners to organize a collection of videos into a specific playlist. Rather than viewers and subscribers scrolling through a random video feed, the playlist tab directs them to an organized list of different playlists. Playlists on YouTube are generally used to separate different categories of unique content.

Why are YouTube Playlists useful?

YouTube playlists are extremely beneficial to brands, channel owners, and even the viewers/subscribers. The playlist feature benefits Brands and channel owners by making it easier for viewers to find the content they enjoy the most. A playlist organizing similar content together also increases the chance of viewers watching multiple videos in one sitting. The feature automatically plays through each video on the playlist without the viewer clicking anything which can also increase viewing time. While the playlist feature increases traffic to a brands channel, it also makes the viewers happy. It facilitates viewers in finding their preferred content while saving them time.
