YouTube has controls to repeat one podcast episode or an entire playlist, but its published instructions do not document a setting that removes the pause or transition between separate episodes. To cycle through a show, loop its playlist; to replay one episode, use that video’s Loop control.

Choose what to repeat

YouTube represents a podcast show as a playlist, with each episode as a video in that playlist, according to YouTube Help. Use the playlist control to cycle through the show, or loop a video when you want the same episode to play again.

What you want Control What it does
Replay the current episode Loop video Repeats that video.
Cycle through the podcast show Playlist Loop Repeats the playlist. It does not promise gapless transitions between distinct episodes.

Loop one podcast episode on Android

  1. Open the episode’s watch screen in the YouTube app.
  2. Tap Settings.
  3. Tap Additional settings.
  4. Tap Loop video.

The episode will repeat. These are the Android steps in YouTube Help.

Loop a podcast playlist on Android

  1. Start an episode from the podcast playlist.
  2. Open the Playlist control box below the video.
  3. Tap Loop to repeat the playlist.
  4. To switch to repeating only the current episode, tap Loop again; the control shows a “1.”

Use repeat controls on a computer or TV

On a computer, YouTube Help says to right-click the player and select Loop to repeat one video. To repeat a playlist, expand it and select its Loop control. On a TV or gaming console, use Repeat and choose whether to repeat the current video or playlist. Labels and available controls can vary by interface; see the relevant computer instructions.

Can you remove the pause between episodes?

YouTube’s published viewer instructions explain how to repeat videos and playlists, but do not document a user-facing control for removing a pause or transition between two distinct episode videos. Playlist looping is the available repeat option; it should not be treated as a gapless-playback setting. The instructions also do not establish the cause of a particular pause, so do not assume it is buffering, the upload, or your device without troubleshooting that playback case.

If you embed the podcast

For embedded playback, Google’s YouTube IFrame Player API documentation describes the loop parameter for repeating a video or playlist. For a single embedded video, Google says to set the playlist parameter to the same video ID as well. These parameters enable repetition; they do not provide a documented way to eliminate transitions between separate podcast episodes.
