How to Find YouTube Playlists

Playlists are the best way to consume structured content on YouTube, but they are surprisingly hard to discover and even harder to keep track of. Here is how to find them — and what to do with them once you have.

Use YouTube search filters

Search your topic on YouTube, then open Filters and set Type to "Playlist". This restricts results to playlists only — ideal for finding full courses and series instead of single videos.

Check a channel's Playlists tab

Every channel has a Playlists tab where creators group their content into series. For channels that do not maintain playlists, their uploads list itself works: paste the channel into playlist.tools and treat the uploads as one big, sortable playlist.

Keep the ones you find

Once you find a good playlist, open it in playlist.tools: it lands in your history, you can sort it into the right order, track which videos you have watched, and resume it later on any device.

You can do all of this free on playlist.tools — paste any playlist URL and start sorting and tracking in seconds.
