Creating playlists on Youtube

waterman3

I've been showing my mum how to use Youtube on her tablet today, but when I tried to add a new playlist, it came up "You need a channel to continue. Create your channel on the Youtube site, then return to this app".

I don't understand - I've added loads of playlists on my youtube account and have never been asked to create a channel.

Can anyone help me with what's going on here? Cheers

I am curious about the same thing so will watch this thread.

Regarding playlists in general ..

I recently got an allotment, so have been watching quite a few gardening related clips, but decided to create a playlist, to save me getting in and out of bed to watch the desktop monitor.

The only snag was that adverts kept appearing and would play in full, meaning I still had to keep getting up to click on the skip add button.

When you tried to create the playlist were you logged in with your account? It sounds as if you weren't as you need a YouTube account (call it channel if you like) when you create playlists.
