The setup and design of the YouTube channel includes adding and editing sections so that guests and subscribers can easily navigate your videos and playlists. If you’re just starting to create your own YouTube channel, we’ll look at how to add sections and playlists ..
Add sections and playlists to the YouTube channel
It is worth noting that you need to work on the channel constantly, and therefore also as on your own site. In short, these are four main points.
- 1. Create and configure a channel.
- 2. Optimization.
- 3. Adding videos and promotion.
- 4. Analytics.
Customize channel display for users
- As a feed, this is when your YouTube action stream is displayed, which is not desirable.
- Structured channel mapping. To do this, create and add sections to the YouTube channel, playlists (combined videos of the same theme) and the channel trailer.
How to set up a structured channel display
1. Add a trailer.To do this, click on the pencil under the channel cover in the right corner and select “Channel Navigation” to enable the “Browse” option, which allows you to customize the channel design as you wish. So, click “Enable” and below “Save”. Now you can add a channel trailer - this is the most suitable video on the channel theme, new or. Only guests of the channel will see it.
2. Channel playlists
Playlists allow you to combine your videos with one theme and additionally hold the audience, increasing the rating and viewing the video.
To create playlists, click on "Video Manager" and in the new window select "Playlists" \u003d\u003e Create new.
The second way I like it more is on the main page of your channel in the left column, select and click on the “Playlists” tab \u003d\u003e New playlist. Next, enter its optimized name and select the playlist availability. Click create. 
After that, it will be possible to add a description (indexed by PS), possibly a link (to a blog, affiliate product, channel section, etc.), set up a playlist - basic parameters and auto-add, if necessary, you can edit the playlist or delete it.
Now all you have to do is add videos to the playlist. There are several ways to do this. The easiest button to create a playlist is "Add a video" (see screen above). Click and select “Your YouTube Videos”.
After you add the selected videos, they can be moved with the mouse and assigned with the playlist icon - the first video by clicking on "Still".
3. Channel sections
Sections are created so that the user can conveniently navigate among a large number of videos and playlists on the channel. In principle, as on the heading site, categories combine similar articles, so on the channel sections combine playlists and videos.
To do this, on the main page of the channel (at the very bottom), click "Add Section" and select the displayed content: video, playlists, other and customize the layout of the location (horizontal or vertical list). In the viewing window, you can see how your section will be displayed on the channel. Done. You can move sections using the arrows on the right.
Note.
a) If you select several playlists for one section, the option is available "Section Name", which can be added, but there will be no description.
b) If you select one playlist, then your section will be called in the same way as the playlist + description.
Which option to choose is up to you. The screenshot shows both options.
"If the mountain does not go to Magomed, then Magomed goes to the mountain" or "They better know there how it is more convenient for us to sort subscriptions here." Hi everyone, my name is Sam. I, like many of you, an ordinary user of the site youtube.com, well, a little programmer. I bring to your attention an extension that simplified my life.
History of occurrence
Some of you may still remember that YouTube once had the Collections feature. It allowed you to collect your subscriptions to your favorite channels on topics that you deem appropriate for you personally. Sorted lists were displayed as an additional drop-down menu to the right of the left side menu of the site. It was convenient, but once, like a bolt from the blue, it happened https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6233832?hl\u003den.
Having studied the issue more closely, I realized that disabling this function upset not only me. Therefore, I decided to fill the gap with my own extension.
Capabilities
Here is an extension that allows you to take a fresh look at the possibility of organizing subscriptions to youtube.com channels. An opportunity that was lost on May 26, 2015 and has been revived now.
You can create list folders, the structure and order of subscriptions in which will be exactly reproduced in the left menu each time the page is loaded, thereby replacing the original list.
The names of these folders can also be changed, as well as their position in the general list of the same folders. The extension has a built-in instruction with screenshots for configuration and use.
Some people are annoyed by the fact that when you click on the channel, the main page opens, on which its author considered it necessary to install a video preview with annoying loud sounds. The problem can be solved if the option “Add to links to channels” / videos is checked. Now, when the page loads, the links in the side menu will immediately lead to the video section, where you can immediately understand which videos require your attention.
As you know, the subscription service of the most popular video hosting YouTube Allows you not to miss new videos on interested channels. However, over time, the number of subscriptions grows and there comes a moment when it is impossible to find relevant channels and videos, i.e. the very meaning of the subscription is lost. In such cases, a browser extension called.
The voiced manager (see the link at the end of the article), synchronizing data through Google-Account, helps to quickly distribute channels into folders and track the appearance of clips. If a little more detailed, then YouTubeSubscriptionManager can:
- Create / modify / delete thematic groups (there are three modes for adding channels to groups);
- signal the number of fresh videos;
- choose an icon for each group of subscriptions;
- filter videos on the page .
Manage YouTube Channel Subscriptions
- After installing the addon in the left column YouTube the section "above Subscription Groups +". To create a group, click on its title, enter the name in the window and confirm with the key" Enter".
- When you are finished creating a group, integrate the appropriate channels into it. Therefore, open the same type of subscription one by one, click the button in the form of a flag and select a group (the flag turns red, see the screenshot above). The same thing happens if you hover over the name of the subscription (a window is displayed asking you to transfer it to one of the groups) or click on the " Subscription Groups +", with a visit to the subscription management page.
- After sorting the channels into groups, it will become easy to follow the latest videos, in the field of each section will be recorded the number of un watched videos.
- If you click on the group folder, the drop-down list of channels is easily edited, and to delete the groups themselves you will have to visit " Subscription Groups +".
- In order to change the group icon, click the button in the form of a screen and in the window with a preview of the clips distributed by date, click on the folder logo (you can also enter a new group name).
- The last hidden and convenient extension function is filtering subscription videos on a page https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions . On her YouTube displays the entire video in bulk, but if you open the " Showfilters"(" Show Filters "), through the switches, the videos are sorted by topic and time of appearance (" Today "/" Yesterday "/" This Week "/" This Month "/" Previously ").
