  YouTube now allows Continuous Play Playlists

  Many have been frustrated by YouTube’s 10 minute (actually 10:59) clip limit when wanting to post long form work there.

  You can now create a playlist in YouTube that will link the files together so they will play in sequence with no further action from the viewer. You will have a single URL to the playlist. You must use the playlist URL though. Simply playing the first file in a playlist will not result in continuous play.

  In order to enable this feature you need to
  create a playlist in your channel
  sequence the order of the videos in the playlist
  update the channel
  You will see the playlist with the Play All button
  That will play all the videos in sequence

  After the first video starts to play you should note one slight change on the right side options
  Playlist – Sopt Autoplaying | Play Next (this allows the viewer to skip to the next video in the playlist
  You will also see the title of the video beneath that along with a Randomize check box
  Select the title and you will be taken to another window which will have a PlayList URL

  It might be easier to show in a tutorial so if/when I have the time and there’s interest (is there interest) I’ll make a video tutorial.
