Like music playlists, TikTok allows users to make video playlists for their viewers. With this feature, creators can categorize their public content and help viewers watch relevant videos in a series.
When a viewer visits your Creator Playlist and watches a video, they will find other relevant videos without leaving the playlist. This is a way to group content for your audience and make it easy for them to find.
Creating playlists for your TikTok audience may be a little challenging. This article will help you with all you need to know about creating playlists and organizing your videos into playlists.
Who can create TikTok playlists?
TikTok playlists have proven to be helpful to content creators; however, not everyone has access to this feature. Creator Playlists are not currently available to everyone on TikTok.
Also, there is no general requirement to access this feature on your account. If you don’t see an option to create playlists in the Video tab on your profile, it means you can’t create playlists yet.
How to create a playlist of your videos
You should check if the TikTok Creator Playlists feature is available to you first. If you have access to the feature, you can go through your public videos and make a series of videos that your audience will see on your profile.
There are two ways to create playlists on TikTok:
- Make a playlist from your profile.
- Make a playlist from your video.
Make a playlist from your profile:
- Open the TikTok app and sign in to your account.
- Proceed to your profile.
- Go to the Videos tab on your profile.
- Tap Sort videos into playlists. If you have created a playlist before, tap the plus icon next to your existing playlists to create a new one.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to give your playlist a name and add videos to it.
While creating a playlist, remember that it is only possible with your public videos. Private videos cannot be organized into playlists. You can also create a playlist directly from a video – let’s find out how.
Make a playlist from a video:
- Open the TikTok app and sign in to your account.
- Proceed to your profile.
- Find and go to the video you want to use to create a playlist. Once again, have in mind that you can only create a playlist with public videos.
- Open the video in full screen.
- Tap the three-dot icon on the right of the video. You can also press and hold on the video.
- Next, tap Add to playlist.
- After that, select Create a playlist.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to name your playlist and add more videos to it.
How to add a video to a playlist
After creating your playlist, you may need to add more videos to it. These videos may be existing videos on your profile or new ones you haven’t even posted.
To add an existing video to a playlist:
- Open the TikTok app and sign in to your account.
- Proceed to your profile.
- Go to the video you want to add to an existing playlist (You can only add public videos to a playlist).
- Open the video in full screen.
- Tap the three-dot icon on the right of the video or press and hold on the video to bring a pop-up.
- Tap Add to playlist.
- Instead of creating a new playlist, choose the playlist you’d like to add the video to.
When adding videos to playlists, you should note that a video can only be in one playlist at a time. This means that you cannot add a video to more than one playlist.
To add a video to another playlist, you will have to remove it from the playlist it exists in first.
To add a new video to an existing playlist:
- Open the TikTok app and sign in to your account.
- Tap the Plus icon to record or upload a new video.
- Edit your video.
- On the Post screen, tap Add to playlist.
- Choose the playlist you’d like to add the video to.
- After selecting, tap Post to upload your video.
Please keep in mind that you have to create a playlist before you can add a video to a playlist from your Post screen. If you don’t have a playlist already, you’d be required to create one on the spot.
How to remove a video from a playlist
After adding a video to a playlist, you can also remove it the same way. However, removing a video from a playlist does not delete the video; the video will no longer appear on the playlist, but you can still find it on your profile.
To remove a video from a playlist:
- Open the TikTok app and sign in to your account.
- Proceed to your profile.
- Go to the video you want to remove from the playlist.
- Open the video in full screen.
- Tap the three-dot icon on the right of the video or press and hold on the video for the pop-up to appear.
- Tap Remove from playlist.
Final Thoughts
Once again, you can only create playlists with public videos. If you keep some of your videos private, these videos can not be organized into playlists for your audience to see. Same applies to adding videos to a playlist.
To delete a Playlist:
- Go to your profile.
- Navigate to the Videos tab on your profile and tap the playlist you want to delete.
- Tap the three-dot icon in the top right of your playlist screen and select Delete playlist.
- Tap Delete again to confirm.
