The feature has been available on the web <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/11\/7\/20952253\/youtube-homepage-design-thumbnails-videos-titles-queue-recommendation-hide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for years now<\/a>, and shows in the YouTube apps under certain circumstances \u2014 users who control their Chromecast with their phones <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/chromecast\/answer\/2995235?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">might recognize it<\/a>, as will those who use the YouTube Music apps \u2014 but now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/10\/6\/21504817\/youtube-premium-beta-test-labs-new-features\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube Premium users who opt-in<\/a> to the test will be able to add videos to a stack that acts like an impermanent playlist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">After you turn on the feature (which we\u2019ll cover how to do in just a second), you\u2019ll have access to a new \u201cPlay last in queue\u201d button in the three vertical dot menu that appears on video thumbnails. Tapping it will add the video to the bottom of your queue \u2014 or will create a new queue if you\u2019re currently not watching a video. Once the video you\u2019re watching ends, the app will starting playing the next video in the queue, and keep going until you run out. You can also rearrange videos in the queue, or remove them. If you close the player, either by fully quitting the app or tapping the \u201cx\u201d button in the bottom bar, your queue will be deleted (though the app may warn you before that happens).

(YouTube started rolling out the feature earlier this month <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/youtube-add-to-queue-function-mobile-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to <em>Android Police<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2022\/12\/14\/youtube-queue-android-ios\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>9to5Google<\/em><\/a>, but the pop-up didn\u2019t show up for me until today.) If you didn\u2019t get that screen and you\u2019re a Premium subscriber, you can manually enable it by tapping on your profile picture in the top right corner, going to Settings &gt; Try new features, then scrolling to \u201cQueue\u201d and tapping the \u201cTry it out\u201d button. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">According to that settings screen, the test will be available until January 28th. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The test isn\u2019t necessarily a sign that non-paying users will be able to queue up videos anytime soon \u2014 YouTube\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/4\/11\/23019960\/youtube-premium-picture-in-picture-test-ended-april-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">picture-in-picture test for iOS ended<\/a> months before the feature <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/7\/11\/23204446\/youtube-picture-in-picture-iphone-ipad-ios-feature-premium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">started rolling out<\/a>. I also noticed that the feature isn\u2019t exactly polished right now \u2014 the app failed to add a video to the queue at one point, seemingly because I tried to add another one too soon afterwards. Still, I\u2019m excited to have this feature on my phone; it\u2019s something I use almost every day on the desktop, and the fact that it\u2019s made it to the YouTube Premium testbed makes me hope I\u2019ll be able to rely on it in the app too someday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\"><em><strong>Update December 24th 5:56PM ET:<\/strong> Added context that the YouTube Music app already has a queueing system.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/12\/24\/23525564\/youtube-queue-ios-android-apps-premium-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube is starting to test out its queueing system on iOS and Android.
