How To Copy Someone’s YouTube Playlist To Your Account

Am YouTube playlist is a collection of videos organized by either you or someone else. Anyone can create a YouTube playlist with any public video on YouTube. If someone’s YouTube playlist is Public, then you can find it and watch it. e.g. This is a playlist on How To Use Dropbox by WebPro.

A playlist you create will always be in your account until you edit or delete it. If you watch someone else’s playlist and like it,  you can save it to your account. Any time you need to see it, you can sign in to your account and look for ‘Saved Playlists’ on your playlists page.

The problem with saving other people’s playlists is that you don’t have control over the playlist. The playlist is still in the account of the person who created it. That person can edit the playlist or even delete it and there is nothing you can do about it. Sometimes even the YouTube account of a playlist creator can get terminated and the playlist goes with it.

There is a solution to this. Copy the playlist to your own account. This way, you will own the playlist and have full control over it.
