What Are Creator Playlists on TikTok?

Through TikTok’s Creator Playlist feature, creators can curate their content and categorize their public videos into various playlists. They can create playlists from existing videos on their profile or start a new playlist with a new video before posting. They can also keep building existing playlists by adding new videos they publish. 

A creator’s playlists or video collections appear just above their content feed on their profile page. Viewers can browse the playlist titles by swiping left or right. When they find a collection they like, they can simply tap it to watch all the videos in the playlist. 

Viewers can scroll through the videos in the collection and choose what to watch or watch them continuously one after the other. 

Who Can Create a Playlist on TikTok?

You’ll find the option to create a playlist on your profile page in the videos tab. When you tap the videos tab, you should be able to Sort videos into playlists. If you don’t see this option, you may ask if this means the feature is not available to you yet.
