This tutorial will guide you through the process of moving a YouTube playlist from one account to another. This can be particularly useful if you have multiple YouTube accounts and want to consolidate your playlists.

Step 2: Open Playlist Settings

• Click on the playlist to open it.
• Select the "Edit" button (usually represented by a pencil icon) to access the playlist settings.
• Note down the title and description of the playlist, as you will need to recreate this in the new account.

Step 3: Copy Playlist Links

• In the playlist settings, look for the option to view all videos in the playlist.

Conclusion

Transferring playlists between YouTube accounts involves a few manual steps, including copying video links and recreating the playlist in the new account.
