However, one of the least used YouTube features is the playlist. If you have an unfettered internet or broadband plans, you can easily binge on a never-ending stream of YouTube videos without a break in between.

Thankfully, playlists can be created and customized easily on YouTube for Chrome easily and there’s a new kid on the block — by the name of Youtube Queue — which serves the purpose just right.

So, without further ado, let’s get started.

Additional Features of Youtube Queue

Youtube Queue has dedicated buttons to control the playback from across the browser which means that you don’t have to open the YouTube page each time you want to skip a song or put it on repeat.

Perhaps the best feature of this Chrome extension is that you can add songs to a queue without creating a dedicated playlist. And the second best feature is that the video queue will be maintained even after a closing the tab or browser.

You can also add songs to a queue without creating a dedicated playlist.

So the next time you want to listen to your favorite songs, just click on the Chrome extension and you are done.

Youtube Queue also lets you upload or share playlist to the store so that other users can have access to your list.

Wrapping Up!

The main idea of YouTube playlist is that you select the songs and set them to play back to back, without having to bother about them later on. Plus, a handy extension also saves you from the many distractions of YouTube.
