Loop Player for YouTube

Growing

Build playlists from YouTube videos and play them on a loop, in the browser.

Gather YouTube videos and playlists into playlists of your own and play them on a loop — the whole list round and round, or one video over and over, in order or shuffled. Paste a video or playlist link to add it, drag to reorder, or drop a video onto another tab to move it. Up to ten playlists, no sign-up: they are kept in this browser only, and can be exported to a file and imported again elsewhere.

Pick a video from the list to play it.

Your playlists are saved only in this browser. Videos play from YouTube, which may set its own cookies once you play one.

Use it from code or AI

Playback runs in the browser through YouTube's embedded player, and playlists live in the visitor's own browser, so there is no endpoint that returns them. Instead, a link can carry what to open: v=<video id> adds that video to the open playlist and cues it; list=<playlist id> reads a YouTube playlist and adds it as a new playlist. An AI agent can hand a person such a link and the player opens ready to loop. The options endpoint lists the parameters, the limits and the playlist file format.
