Creating Audio and Video Playlists

You can create audio and video playlists within your site to display your work or favorite media.

Viewers will be able to see all audio or video tracks within the playlist. The media will not begin playing automatically. The viewer can choose to start with any track and the tracks will then play in succession automatically.

The process to create both playlists is the same. The option to create a playlist only appears after you upload MP3 or MP4 files.
