FAQ on adding videos to your playlist

What permissions are required to add to a playlist?

You must have owner/editor rights to a playlist to add videos to it. You need to at least have view access for a video before adding it to a playlist.

Note

The added video might not be visible to users who don't have view access to it even if they have access to the playlist. For every video, access can be managed separately.

Can you add multiple videos to a playlist?

While you're adding videos to the playlist within the list experience, you can select multiple videos from a specific location, like a folder or a document library in OneDrive or SharePoint by selecting Add new item. While you're adding videos from OneDrive or SharePoint document library, you can add videos to the playlist one by one. Support for adding multiple videos at the same time will be added soon.

Can you add other file types to a playlist?

You can add audio files to a playlist too, but no other formats besides audio and video are supported.

Can you add a video to multiple playlists?

If you have at least view permissions for the video and edit permission for the playlists where you want to add the video, you can add the video to all the playlists. However, you can't select multiple playlists and can only add one by one.

Can you drag and drop to reorder videos inside the playlist?

Can you edit video metadata for a video in a playlist?
