How to move YouTube Playlists to another channel

Learn how to move a YouTube Playlist from one channel to another. Read more about this tutorial below.
🔻

If you decide to niche down your YouTube channel, you might feel the need to transfer some of your playlists with videos from other channels to a new channel. Unfortunately, you can’t transfer the ownership of a playlist, so sharing it is not a viable option. If you really want to delete a Playlist from the channel where it was originally created and save the videos somewhere else, you have two options:
(1) Open each video one by one and save it to a new playlist on your other channel (this might become a daunting task depending on the number of videos on your playlist).
(2) Follow the steps on this tutorial instead and transfer all the videos at once.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This method just helps you transfer a playlist. This method doesn't transfer the videos to the new channel. If you delete the old channel or if you delete the videos from the old channel, the videos will also disappear from the new channel.

All the best,

Thank you SO much for this video. They really make it hard to figure out how to "share" videos between our multiple channels. But you explained it clearly, and slow enough that I could follow along and click everything to get mine setup. Now I get to keep my views and comments, but on the new channel. Perfect.

Thanks for this! If you follow the steps exactly, it works! YouTube really must find a quicker way to copy playlist between accounts/channels, but until then, your method works a charm!

wow, jus wanted to change my whole playlist to my new cannel, cant thank you enough 💜

Madam, my hat goes off to you. Your perseverance is awesome. Am stealing myself to try this, but I need a coffee first.😄😄

[timmcneill]

very useful video. I couldn't access my playlists via youtube music while driving. This did the trick 👍

Thanks so much for showing how to transfer playlists to another channels! Has anyone found a workaround yet on how to save playlists before needing to delete a channel?

[Dragonlordx]

that is a lot of step and channel swapping to do something that should be easy - trust YT to make things hard to do.

[Bob-qsiu]

Great job! I could not have figured this out without your help.

[BlessedForever]

This is awesome and amazing! Thank you for the clear explanation!

There we go! there's create a playlist they changed things in the last year obviously. Fyi you can have two or more channels open in their own tabs just open one channel up onto it's playlist page, then open up that channel again in a new tab, and then switch to another channel and go to it's playlist page too so you can more quickly open up any playlists or refresh the page.

You don't have to keep switching back and forth so much like in the video, and you don't have to keep going into the channel then to the playlist page to enter the collaboration link, you can just keep the one open on the channel you've collaborative with then paste the link in there and before that you only need to go to your channel page. I just figured this out the first time doing this, just close your playlists after you're done.

If you want to delete a channel don't make the mistake i just did by deleting a channel while having the new one open in another tab🤦make sure you only switch to the channel you want to delete in one tab or it'll delete your new channel along with the other one you asked to be deleted. To be on the safe side i would clear your browser data before doing it so nothing gets it's wires crossed.

I don't know why they don't just let us simply transfer all our playlists over all at once because this is a pain and will take days because you can't make too many playlists within 24 hours or maybe in the span of a certain number of hours, i think it's 24 hours and i hit a wall at 14 the first time but i wouldn't recommend going that far i've been doing about 7 playlists and just about done🙂It'll cut you off for a while if you hit the wall i don't know how long though. The constant switching back and forth, opening playlists, closing playlists this is so unnecessary, i think they do it to stop spam playlists being created but this is overkill.

Very helpful. Thank you so much. Appreciated

[EhCloserLook]

Thank you so much for this!!! If this actually works, this could be a game changer for me. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this for some time, and I’ve resorted to doing it manually. 😫😭

This is way too many steps. There should just be a "share playlist" option in the dropdown menu.

[shawn.harris]

This was so very helpful, thanks so much!

A bit long but does the job! Basically create new playlist at target, enable collab, copy share collab link. Switch to old channel and paste link so it appears in list, open old playlist and 'save to' new one.

[BathindaHelper]

I can't say of earlier, but now, in Apr2024, this doesn't seem possible. The collaborated playlist shows in the target account only when we enter its (shared) url in the url bar. But it doesn't show under target accounts 'Playlists' tab, nor does it show when we wish to add any video to it in target account.
Hope I'm clear enough in what I want to say.

Gosh... it took me a while (and watching it over and over) to finally get it working. Thank you very much!
Question: If I make the playlist private on the original account, will it still show public in the new account?

3:49 after click this page is showing another page
My time waste any solution....

At 4.06 you select the list you're copying to: when you click to tick that box then disappears, How do you do that? As when I do that it just unticks the box. Click again ticks but I can't leave the select list box.
