What it does

Adding videos to a YouTube playlist normally means opening each video, clicking Save, and choosing a playlist — one video at a time. This extension puts a panel on the YouTube page itself, so you can tick several videos and send them to a playlist together.

How to use it

  1. Open YouTube. The panel appears on the right side of the page.
  2. Press Load all playlists. The first time, Google asks you to grant access.
  3. Choose the videos you want — individually, or with Select not added.
  4. Pick a destination playlist, then press Add all selected.

What it can access, and why

The extension asks for a single permission: access to your own YouTube account data. It is used for four things, and nothing else.

Operation Why it is needed
Read your playlists To show you the list of playlists you can add videos to
Read the videos in those playlists To mark each video on the page as already added or not, and to prevent duplicates
Add a video to a playlist The core function of the extension
Create a playlist Only when you ask for a new playlist
There is no server behind this extension. Nothing is sent anywhere except to Google's own YouTube Data API, on your behalf, when you press a button. No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking. Your email address, name and profile photo are never accessed.

Full details are in the Privacy Policy. You can revoke access at any time from your Google Account permissions page.
