Create a Video Playlist

Updated on

Creating a playlist in Panopto allows you to keep all your videos organized.

Q: What's the difference between folders and playlists?

A: Folders keep all of your videos in one area, while playlists allow you to keep videos together and allow viewers to watch them all in one place.

Folders are for the creator to manage and organize the different types of videos made, while playlists are a series of videos covering a specific topic, lecture, or chapter.

For example, you may have several playlists inside one folder.

We recommend creating a playlist for every series of lectures that cover a specific topic or chapter in your course.

In this guide we will walk you through creating video playlists, adding videos to your playlist, and what a playlist should look like.
