What is a playlist?

A playlist is a collection of videos in ClickView that play one after another in a preset order. You can include videos from ClickView Libraries, your School Library, or your own uploaded content. Playlists help organise videos for lessons or review and can be shared with other staff and students.

How to create and name playlists

You can create as many playlists as you need. Naming playlists by topic helps you locate them quickly.

For detailed, step-by-step instructions on creating and naming playlists, see How to create a playlist.

How to share playlists

Share playlists by copying the playlist link and providing it to students or staff, or by adding it to your LMS. This enables others to access curated video resources easily.

For more information on sharing playlists with students or staff, including different sharing options, see How to share a playlist.

How to add videos to a playlist

1. Browse and select the video you wish to add.
2. Click the “Add to Playlist” button at the bottom right corner.
3. Choose the playlist you want to add the video to.

For a full walkthrough of adding videos from different libraries to a playlist, see How to add videos to a playlist.

How to follow a playlist

When a playlist is shared, you can follow it using the “Follow” icon. Following lets you see any updates made by the playlist curator and keeps the playlist in your account for easy access.

To learn more about following playlists and how updates work, see How to follow a playlist.

Where to find the followed playlists

Followed playlists appear with your own playlists under the Playlists tab. You can use the following playlists for viewing, but cannot add, reorder, or delete videos from them.
