Using our YouTube playlist calculator is straightforward and efficient. Just follow these simple steps to get accurate duration information for any public YouTube playlist:
1 Find and Copy the YouTube Playlist URL
Visit YouTube and navigate to any playlist you want to analyze. Copy the complete URL from your browser's address bar. The URL should contain "playlist?list=" followed by the playlist ID.
2 Paste the URL and Start Analysis
Paste the copied URL into the input field at the top of this page. Then simply press Enter on your keyboard to begin the analysis process. Our tool will immediately start gathering information about the videos in your playlist.
3 Review Your Comprehensive Results
Within seconds, you'll receive detailed information about your playlist, including:
- Total number of videos
- Combined duration at normal speed (1x)
- Viewing times at various playback speeds (1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2x)
- Custom speed calculations (if specified)
- Information about any unavailable videos
You can analyze as many playlists as you want. For very large playlists (containing over 100 videos), you might want to use your own YouTube API key for faster and more reliable results.
