How to Copy YouTube Playlists from One Account to Another
YouTube offers you a great chance to watch your favorite videos in the form of playlists created by others. But, have you ever thought that you can copy the playlists from some other person’s account into yours? YouTube doesn’t offer the feature to copy YouTube playlists between accounts by default. The same thing goes for the people who need to copy their playlists from one account to another. You will have to manually add all the videos again and again for creating playlists independently in all accounts. In this article, I will demonstrate how to copy YouTube playlists between accounts, by using a simple approach.
- Launch your favorite browser.
- Go to the link of a web app called as “Copy YouTube Playlists”.
- You need to sign into the web app using your YouTube account. Simply click on the option of “Sign-in with YouTube” button to begin the process.
- Once you are signed into your YouTube account, you are required to input the address of your playlist.
- To get the address of the playlist, open YouTube in another tab and begin a new playlist search. You need to make sure to change the result type to “Playlist” to narrow down your search.
- On the search results page, list of public playlists will come in front you that are shared by other users. Choose the playlist that you want to copy. Then, you need to locate “View full playlist” link. Right-click on that link and copy its URL.
- The format of the URL should be in the following format.
“//www.youtube.com/playlist?list=ABcDEF_1wOu4eKO_Qyw250cemOVtqZW6Tf”.
- Next, return to Copy YouTube Playlists. Then paste your playlist URL in the link field.
- You can also copy your playlists privately by clicking on “Private Copy”. If you want to share your playlists publicly, click on the “Public Copy”.
- You also need to wait a while the web app generates the copy of the said playlist. Once it is done, you will see the confirmation page containing the link to the copied playlist. Simply click the “Playlist” link for viewing your copied playlists.
That’s it and you have copied the links of your YouTube playlists. It is quite simple to copy YouTube playlists between accounts. You will have a one step solution to access your favorite playlists. Your favorite YouTube content will be there at one place in your account.
Millions of YouTube users are working diligently to organize this ever-growing database of videos into playlists that make the YouTube experience even more enjoyable.
Looking for inspiring Steve Jobs speeches on YouTube? Classic nursery rhymes for kids? Popular music videos of Adele? Well, chances are that some YouTube user may have already curated the best videos for a topic into playlists that you can watch on any device with a click. You can even download YouTube playlists on your Android or iPhone for offline viewing.

Save Playlists vs Copy Playlists
When you open any video playlist on YouTube, you have the option to save that playlist. This is like creating a bookmark that you can revisit later to watch that playlist again. However, it is a read-only playlist and you have absolutely no control over the content of that playlist.
Also, like everything else on the web, your saved YouTube playlists may disappear without warning. This can happen if the playlist creator deletes the playlist or if their YouTube account is suspended for, say, copyright infringement. When the YouTube account is gone, the user’s playlists are removed too.
The solution is simple. If you would like to save a YouTube playlist permanently, you should clone that playlist into your own YouTube account. You’ll become the owner of the copied playlist and thus, if the original disappears, you aren’t affected.
How to Copy YouTube Playlists of Another User
Introducing YouTube Copier, a web app that lets you easily copy any public video playlist to your own YouTube account.
To get started, sign-in with your YouTube account and allow the app to access your Youtube account. Now enter the YouTube playlist URL [like this one] and choose the privacy of your new playlist - it can be either public [visible to all], private [only visible to you] or unlisted [visible to people who know the link]. That’s it.
Click the “Copy Playlist” button and a copy should be ready in your YouTube channel within a minute. Also, you can copy playlists of any size - they can have 20 video or 800 - the tool will copy them all.
How to Merge Multiple YouTube Playlists
The YouTube Copier offers another handy feature - you can input any video playlist [it could be yours or someone else’s] and merge it with an existing playlist in your YouTube account. So if you have discovered 3 different playlists of your favorite music, you can save them all in a single playlist rather than having to create multiple playlists.
The tool uses the official YouTube API and the source code is available on ctrlq.org. Download the YouTube video to get started.
