If a YouTube gaming replay playlist stops after its final video, turn on Repeat for the playlist. Autoplay is different: it starts a related video, not the same playlist from the beginning. If you mean a creator’s actual live broadcast ends, that is a separate issue—viewer playlist Repeat does not keep a live stream running.

Loop the whole playlist on your device

Start playback from a video that belongs to the playlist, then enable the playlist’s Repeat control. YouTube’s controls can vary by device; use the matching steps below.

On a computer

  1. Open a video that is part of the gaming playlist.
  2. Expand the playlist box beside the video.
  3. Click Loop in the playlist box. YouTube’s computer instructions describe this control.

On Android

  1. Start playing the playlist.
  2. Tap Loop in the playlist controls.
  3. Check that the control is set to repeat the playlist, not just the currently playing video. YouTube documents that another tap can switch to repeating only the current video. See YouTube’s Android instructions.

On a TV or gaming console

  1. Select the playlist and begin playback.
  2. During playback, press down on the remote or controller to open the player controls.
  3. Choose Repeat until the display says Repeat • Playlist. You can also look for Repeat in Settings. The exact controls may vary by device; see YouTube’s TV and console guidance.

Repeat and Autoplay are not the same

Playlist Repeat cycles through the selected playlist and starts it again after its last item. Autoplay starts a related video after a video ends; it does not guarantee that your chosen gaming playlist will restart. YouTube describes it this way: “When Autoplay is on, another related video will automatically play after a video ends.” You can manage Autoplay using the player switch on a computer or mobile device, or in the YouTube app’s Settings on a TV. Settings may differ between devices. See YouTube’s Autoplay guidance.

If the playlist still stops

  • Confirm what is playing: Start from a video inside the playlist and make sure the playlist is still the active playback context.
  • Check the repeat mode: Confirm it says Repeat • Playlist, or otherwise indicates the entire playlist—not only the current video—is looping.
  • Test another supported device: If the setting appears correct but playback still stops, try the same playlist on another device. YouTube recommends this as part of playback troubleshooting.
  • Check for a playback error: If an error appears, follow YouTube’s streaming and video troubleshooting steps. The available information cannot identify a device-specific cause without knowing what device you use or what error, if any, appears.

If you mean a creator’s 24/7 gaming live stream

The steps above change how a viewer plays a playlist; they do not keep a creator’s live broadcast running. If you want uploaded gaming videos to play continuously as a YouTube live stream, one option is StreamNeo, a cloud service that loops uploaded videos on YouTube. Upload the recording or build a playlist, add your YouTube stream key, and go live. This is for uploaded video playback, not a live camera feed.
