  5. Now a new window containing a long list of videos with their thumbnails shown will appear.

The most recent uploads will float to the top of this list. If you are having trouble locating a specific band or video, refer to the diagram below with details on a few useful screen components that will assist in your search.

A: Checkboxes for choosing multiple videos.
B: Search videos - use to find a specific band or artist name, use accurate spelling.
C: View drop list with several options for display.
D: Security status icon - a lock indicates that the video is Private, an opened lock indicates that it is Unlisted, and a picture of the Earth indicates Public.

Creating the Playlist

  1. Using the checkboxes to the left of the video thumbnails, check all that you would like to include in your new playlist.
  2. Click on the Add To button, shown as item E in the diagram above.
  3. A new drop menu will appear, showing the most recently created playlist at the top. You can now add these chosen videos to an existing playlist, or click on Create new playlist at the bottom of the list.

  4. Fill in the new playlist title, using the following format: [Band/artist name] Live at KDHX [MM/DD/YY]. ex. Tommy Halloran Live at KDHX 3/12/14
  5. You will also need to change the Security status from the default of Public to Private.

The playlist is now created. You can continue to add videos to your new playlist or move on to the next step.

Adding a playlist description

Now you will need to find your newly created playlist and add a description.

  1. In the upper left hand corner of your YouTube window, click on the red list icon. A menu will drop into view.

  3. Find the link to Add a description shown in the diagram above, and click the link.
  4. A new text box will open. Copy a description from one of the videos in this playlist and paste it to this text box. Before saving this description, remove any references to a specific song.
    - For instance the first line might read: "Tommy Halloran performs "Gardenias for Rita" live at the 88.1 KDHX Studios ..."
    - The revised line will read: "Tommy Halloran performs live at the 88.1 KDHX Studios ..."
  5. Click the Done button to save this description.
  6. The last step is to click on the lock icon, shown to the left of the playlist title, and change the Security status to Public.
