Playlists

Creating Playlists

vzaar allows you to create a playlist which groups these videos in a player that allows your audience to select which video(s) within a playlist to playback.

Before you get started

Before you are able to create a playlist you need to label multiple videos which will form your playlist.
Please read here for how to create labels

Configuring your playlist settings

Your playlist settings are controlled globally and need to be setup within your my settings page from your dashboard.
You will be able to control the behaviour of your playback by choosing the sort order of playlist in ascending or descending order. You will be able choose whether the sort order will apply to date or time fields of your video.

You will also be able to set the maximum number of videos that can be listed within a playlist.
This is a global setting so it is worth setting this to a high value and controlling the amount of videos within a playlist with good labelling if you have many different requirements.

Embedding your playlist in your webpage

By selecting the required label which filters the videos to just the ones you want in the playlist (and clicking apply) and then clicking display playlist code, you will receive the embedded code which needs to be placed in your webpage in the same way as you normally embed your code.
