YouTube Question Is it possible to share a YouTube Shorts playlist?

[Paul Hill]

As it says in the title - is it possible to share a YouTube Shorts playlist?

The Shorts desktop experience seems to be changing to keep in line with mobile which is good, although sharing the playlist doesn't seem to be possible unless I am missing something. If I click on one of my Shorts videos, the playlist opens up and I see a stream of all my Shorts videos. If I share the URL, the result is that video, followed by random videos from other creators.

Any ideas as sharing the Shorts playlist is something that would be extremely helpful to me.

Thanks!

are you using the share buttonon the video or coping the URL? the button wont carry the playlist but only the video individually and the URL needs to have the "&list=PL6ZYTV1Mnp5qPKLFlRkc0hQCe4riYcOR8" part to work (yours will be different depending on the playlist)

I have tried all possible sharing methods - url, clicking the share button and adding in code that I thought might work, with no success. If somebody who is on my channel homepage clicks on a shorts video, they will see a steam of my shorts videos. If I share a link and somebody clicks on the link, they see that video, then other random shorts videos. I need a way of sharing a link so that the recipient stays on my shorts feed.

I haven't messed with Shorts myself so am unaware how they are set up on one's account. But from what I can see Shorts on your channel are not so much on a playlist as they are on a section of their own and since it's not a playlist it doesn't have a share feature. At least not one I can find. There doesn't seem to be a feature to save a Short as you upload it like you can a regular video.

That is also the conclusion I came to, although thought I would ask just in case.

Being able to share the shorts feed/section/playlist or whatever it is would be such a valuable resource. Being able to embed shorts on a website would also be extremely useful. At the moment, embedding via the direct video link is the only possible method and this doesn't look good.
