Creating a Playlist

• Playlists are your organizing tools to keep similar videos in one place
• Ex. A teacher would want to keep Chapter 1 videos in one playlist and Chapter 2 in another
• TEACHERS! If you would like to use other videos that are not your own, you can create playlists of those videos and send the link out to students
• Ex. The Organic Chemistry Tutor videos can be put into a playlist for other students to view

***Your created playlist should show up on your left-hand side of the screen***

If you already have an existing playlist, you can add it to any of those

• Video will remain on account after ending live stream
• Viewers who were unable to view live stream can still come back and view the whole video
