How to Make Playlists on TikTok

 

The TikTok App is constantly expanding its horizon. New features are being implemented all the time, and now is the turn of the new playlist feature on TikTok.

Have you ever surfed YouTube channels and seen how creators put multiple videos inside a single playlist?

Well, the same thing is now possible on TikTok!

This is the best solution for those creators who want their audiences to see the first video or a series (for instance) or to categorize more videos under a single niche.

But how does this feature work?

In today’s blog post on GrowFollowing, we will be thoroughly talking about:

• How to make playlists on TikTok;
• Best ways to use the TikTok playlist feature;
• What you should know before you create a playlist on TikTok.

What Is Creator Playlist on Tiktok?

A TikTok playlist is a newly introduced feature available for certain creators on the platform.

TikTokers can sort videos depending on their needs, meaning that they can add to playlist the video they want.

It is just another of the many new options that the TikTok app has been constantly implemented, such as the repost button on TikTok (we still are waiting for a feature to directly edit captions on TikTok!).

Who Can Use the Tiktok Playlist Feature?

Before you start to make a playlist on TikTok, there are three fundamental things you must know:

1. Only selected creators can create a playlist. The TikTok playlist feature hasn’t been rolled out to everyone, but it is expected that all TikTok can create a playlist before 2022 ends;
2. You can only create playlists with public videos. If you try to add a video that isn’t public, you won’t be able to do so. Only public videos are no other videos are allowed when you make a playlist;
3. It is only possible to create a playlist from the TikTok app and not from the website.

How to See the Creator Playlist Feature on TikTok

As we mentioned before, the TikTok playlist option is only available to certain creators, meaning that not anyone can use it.

But if you just use your TikTok account to see videos, you can check an existing playlist this way:

1. Go to a creator’s profile by looking for them on the search bar;
2. On their post page, you will see each TikTok playlist they have created - you can view videos on this playlist directly by scrolling up and down;
3. If you don’t see anything, then these selected TikTok users don’t have access to playlists, or haven’t created one with relevant videos.

You can also save and see favorite TikTok videos that you find on their profiles.

How to Make Playlists on TikTok

Now that you know how playlists work on TikTok, it’s time to make your first playlist!

You can have more than one playlist on your profile, so don’t worry.

You can sort them out by viral clips, videos where you use TikTok filters, and more.

The process consists of just a few steps and is fairly straightforward, so let’s get to it.

1. Create a Playlist from the TikTok Videos Tab

The first option creators have is to make their own playlist from the main TikTok video tab.

Follow these quick three steps and you will be good to go:

Step 1: Open Your TikTok Profile Page

First of all, open TikTok app, and go to your profile page. If you have been rolled out with the feature, you can make a playlist by tapping the dedicated button.

Step 2: Tap the “Sort Videos Into Playlists” Button

Tap where it says “Sort Videos Into Playlists” in order to create a playlist.

Remember that you can only add public videos and nothing else.

Step 3: Add Videos and Save TikTok Playlists

Now, you need to upload videos to the new playlists. Select the videos from the videos tab, tap “add videos,” and they will all merge into a single TikTok playlist.

Name the playlist, click on “Save,” and you will be good to go!

2. Create a Playlists from Existing Video Clips

Likewise, you might as well add videos to an existing playlist right away.

Step 1: Select the New Video You Want to Add from the Playback Page

Go to the video you want to add. You need to open it and tap on the share icon or three-dot icon inside the video.

Step 2: Tap on the Share Icon and Select the “Add to Playlist” Option

After you tap the share or three-dot icon, you will see an option that says “Add to Playlist.”

Select the playlist you want to upload the video to, and post it there.

Step 3: Organize Videos on New or Existing Playlists

You can manage the order of the content after you add a video.

If you already have in mind that the first video on your playlist should be, just drag it down and save the changes. That’s how you add a video to playlists.

How to Remove a Video from a Playlist on TikTok

So, let’s say that you added a video to a playlist, but now you want to remove videos. In order to do so, just follow these quick three steps:

1. Open the playlist where you want to remove a video;
2. Look for the video you want to delete, tap on the three dots, and select the option that says “Remove Video;”
3. Save the changes, and the video will disappear from the playlist.

That’s all you need to know about creator playlists on TikTok! It is a quite useful feature, isn’t it?
