How to add a video playlist to your band website
If you use YouTube frequently to showcase your band, you may have accumulated a lot of content over time. Did you know that you can easily showcase a reel of your video content on your Bandzoogle website by adding a video playlist? This is pretty easy to do! Here's how:
To show a selection of videos that is easily editable, embed a playlist. When you update the playlist on YouTube, the playlist on your site will update as well. This is a good way of creating longer stories through a series of videos or simply giving your readers more pre-selected content to watch.


You can also add them by URL on the Edit Playlist screen. This means that when you a viewing a video you like, copy the link that appears in the address bar to paste into this field. You can change the order of the videos in your playlist by returning to the 'My Playlist' page.
Here is an example of a YouTube Playlist I created titled "Bandzoogle Website Review Reel". WARNING: Listening to 5 website reviews narrated by Dave Cool may lull you into a total zen state.
