How do I create a playlist on YouTube easily in 2026?

Open YouTube → play a video → click Save under the video → choose Create new playlist → give it a name, set privacy (Public/Private/Unlisted) → hit Create.
 
It’s actually pretty simple. When you’re watching a video, just click the “Save” button under the video, then choose “Create new playlist.” That’s the fastest way to create a playlist on YouTube.
 
On the mobile app, it’s almost the same. Tap “Save,” then “New playlist,” give it a name, choose privacy (Public, Unlisted, or Private), and you’re done. Super easy to create a playlist on YouTube on your phone.
 
You can also create a playlist on YouTube directly from your channel page. Go to the “Playlists” tab, hit “New playlist,” and add videos later. I do this when planning content ahead of time.
