Quick tip
How should I name playlists so they stay useful over time?
Including both the subject and purpose in the playlist name, such as the topic, year group, or unit focus, makes playlists easier to reuse year after year. Clear naming also helps you quickly identify the right playlist when sharing with colleagues or adding new videos later.

What are playlists used for?

Playlists let you group videos together so they are easier to find, reuse, and share. They work well for organising content by subject, year group, topic, or teaching purpose, such as a unit of work or revision materials.
