When youre browsing YouTube, you usually come across videos you dont want to watch right this second, but you can make time for them in the future. Use YouTubes Watch Later feature to save them all in one playlist.

How to Use Watch Later on the Web

You can think of Watch Later as a designated playlist. It has a special place in the Library tab, and its usually easier to add a video to Watch Later than to add it to a playlist.

You can add a video to Watch Later without even opening the video page. Just hover over a video thumbnail and then click on the Watch Later button (it has a Clock icon).

The video will be instantly added to your Watch Later queue. Click on the Library tab from the sidebar.

Here, youll first see the History section. Scroll down until you see the Watch Later section. There will be recently saved YouTube videos here. You can click on a video and it will start playing, but this will directly open the videos page and play only the specific video.

If you want to use the Watch Later feature as a makeshift queue, where you save videos to Watch Later all day and you come back at night to watch three to four videos together, youll have to click on the See All button next to Watch Later.

This will open the Watch Later playlist. Now, you can click on a video.

It will open in the playlist view, with the playlist docked on the right.

To rearrange videos in the playlist, grab the Handle icon and move the video around. To delete a video from the playlist, click on the Menu button and then select the Remove from Watch Later option.

How to Use Watch Later on Mobile

The Watch Later feature is also available in the YouTube app on the iPhone, iPad, and Android.

When you find a video you want to watch later, tap on the Menu button.

From the menu, select the Save to Watch Later option.

If you already opened the video and are on the videos page, tap on the Save button.

Here, the Watch Later playlist will be selected. You can select more playlists if you wish.

Tap on the Done button to complete the action.

Now, tap on the Library tab from the bottom toolbar.

Here, scroll down and tap on the Watch Later button.

Youll see the list of videos in the playlist. Tap on one video to start the playback.

Unlike the web version, the Watch Later feature in the mobile app directly loads the playlist, so videos will play one after the other.

In the Watch Later section, tap and drag on the Handle button to move the video, or tap on the Menu button for options.

From the options menu, you can tap on Remove from Watch Later to delete a video from the Watch Later playlist.

If youre privacy-conscious, you can use a new YouTube feature that automatically deletes YouTube history after a set time frame.
