How to Create YouTube Playlists without Logging In
How do you share a collection of YouTube videos in an email
newsletter or on the social media. The best option is that you create a
new YouTube playlist, add all the videos and then share the link (URL)
of the playlist. The privacy of the YouTube playlist can be set to Unlisted if you would like to hide your video list from search engines.
For instance, here are 5 YouTube videos (video IDs are in red) that I would like to add to a playlist but one that is not associated with my YouTube channel:
1. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjRTSkBHnyo
2. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhU5y7huAY8
3. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T_EqwQnZY0
4. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQKvro1Wz-E
5. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXLYIw-IU8I
All I have to do is take the video IDs and put them in the URL below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch_videos?video_ids=ID1,ID2,ID3,ID4…
So the new YouTube playlist will be located at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch_videos?video_ids=sjRTSkBHnyo,fhU5y7huAY8…
This is like any other playlist on YouTube – anyone can share it, embed it or even copy the playlist to their own Google Account.
It
is easy to build playlists in YouTube but they are always connected to
your YouTube channel or Google Account – you cannot create a playlist on
YouTube anonymously without logging in to your account.
There’s
however a simple URL hack that will let you create “virtual” playlists
on YouTube – they are like regular playlists except that they are not
connected to any Google account and you can still add or remove videos
on the fly.Create YouTube Playlists on the fly
All YouTube videos have a unique video ID and you can create a concatenated list of these video IDs, separated by commas, to create a new YouTube playlist from the corresponding videos.For instance, here are 5 YouTube videos (video IDs are in red) that I would like to add to a playlist but one that is not associated with my YouTube channel:
1. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjRTSkBHnyo
2. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhU5y7huAY8
3. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T_EqwQnZY0
