Turn on Loop (called Repeat • Playlist on some TVs and game consoles) to replay a YouTube playlist. That repeats the videos in order; YouTube’s documented controls do not promise to hide the transition screen between them, so a transition-free loop is not guaranteed.

Loop a playlist on YouTube

Start a video that belongs to the playlist, then use the controls for the playlist—not Autoplay, which chooses a related video after the current one ends.

Desktop

  1. Open a video in the playlist.
  2. Expand the playlist panel beside the video.
  3. Click the Loop control in the playlist box.

Android

  1. Start playing the playlist.
  2. Tap Loop in the playlist control box under the video.
  3. To change the setting to repeat only the current video, tap Loop again.

TV or game console

  1. Select the playlist and start a video.
  2. Open the playback controls.
  3. Choose Repeat until the control indicates Repeat • Playlist.

Control placement and labels can differ by device. YouTube’s instructions are in Loop videos or playlists on YouTube.

Will looping remove the transition screen?

No documented playlist-loop setting guarantees that. Loop repeats the selected sequence; it does not claim to suppress the screen shown between videos. The official YouTube Help and player documentation explain looping but do not describe a supported transition-screen suppression control. You may still see a transition between playlist videos.

Autoplay is a separate feature: it automatically plays another related video when the current one ends. For a fixed sequence, enable playlist Loop or Repeat rather than relying on Autoplay. See YouTube’s Autoplay videos guidance.

Loop an embedded playlist with the YouTube player API

If you manage a website with an embedded player, the YouTube IFrame Player API supports looping a playlist. Load the playlist in the player and enable looping with setLoop(true); the documented behavior returns to the first video after the last. The API does not document a way to suppress the inter-video transition screen.

Or let it run in the cloud

If your actual goal is to keep a pre-recorded YouTube stream running 24/7, rather than loop a playlist in YouTube’s viewer, StreamNeo is a separate option: upload your video, add your YouTube stream key, and go live. It keeps the stream running from the cloud, so nothing has to stay on at home; it streams the upload as made, up to 4K 60fps, at one price per slot, and automatically recovers if YouTube drops the stream. The first day is free with no card. Monthly: $9.99 per month. It plays uploaded videos and streams to YouTube only; it does not remove playlist transition screens from YouTube playback.
