How to Track Your Progress Through a YouTube Course

Long YouTube courses have no built-in progress tracking, so it is easy to lose your place or rewatch videos by mistake. Here is how to turn any playlist into a trackable course.

Mark videos as watched

In playlist.tools, mark each video seen or completed as you go. A progress bar shows how far through the playlist you are, and watched videos are clearly flagged so you never repeat one.

Sync across every device

Create a free account and your progress follows you — start on your laptop, continue on your phone. The tool remembers the last video you watched so you can resume in one tap.

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