Playlists Overview

A playlist lets you group multiple videos together so viewers can watch them in sequence, like a course, a series, or a collection. Viewers can switch between videos without leaving the page.

Pro feature

Playlists require FluentPlayer Pro. The free plugin shows the Playlists menu, but you need Pro to create and embed playlists.

What Is a Playlist?

A playlist is a collection of FluentPlayer media items displayed together in a single player interface. You create media items first (under FluentPlayer → Media), then group them into a playlist.

Each playlist has:

  • A title (for example, "Getting Started Course").
  • A list of media items in a specific order.
  • A layout that controls how the playlist is displayed.
  • An ID that you use to embed it.
