YouTube Playlist

  • Navigate to the YouTube video that you want to add to your playlist.
  • Click the “+ Add to” button underneath the video.
  • Select “Create new playlist.”
  • Enter a name for your playlist and choose a privacy setting.

In above example, the src attribute of the <iframe> tag is set to the URL for the YouTube playlist, with the PLAYLIST_ID replaced with the unique identifier for your playlist.

The width and height attributes specify the dimensions of the player, while the title attribute provides a title for the playlist player.
