How to Loop a YouTube Live Playlist on a Chromebook

Expand the playlist panel beside a YouTube video on your Chromebook and click Loop to repeat the playlist. An ended live stream needs an available replay.

To repeat a YouTube playlist on a Chromebook, open a video from the playlist, expand the playlist panel beside the player, and click Loop. To repeat only the current video, right-click the player and choose Loop. An active live broadcast is not a replayable playlist video; for an ended stream, you need a replay that the channel has made available.

Loop a playlist on your Chromebook

  1. Open YouTube in your Chromebook browser and go to a video that belongs to the playlist.

The playlist control repeats the playlist, rather than just the video currently playing. The panel’s layout may change; if you do not see it, look beside the player for the playlist panel.

Repeat only the current video

  1. Right-click in the video player.

  2. Choose Loop from the menu.

This repeats the current video, not the full playlist. YouTube’s computer instructions describe these playlist and player controls for browser playback. YouTube Help: Loop videos or playlists on YouTube — Computer.

What changes when the playlist contains a live stream?

While the broadcast is active

A live stream is playing in real time. Turning on playlist loop does not restart the broadcast from its beginning. YouTube Live DVR may let you pause, rewind, and resume, but viewers cannot seek to a point before the stream began. DVR may also be limited or unavailable for streams longer than 12 hours. YouTube Help: Turn on DVR on live streams.

After the broadcast ends

The channel may publish a replay or highlights as videos. Looping an ended live event therefore requires an available replay, opened directly or included in a playlist; not every stream has a replay. YouTube says streams under 12 hours can be automatically archived, while streams exceeding 12 hours may not be captured at all. Check the channel for a replay before relying on it.
