Does vMix stream a YouTube playlist URL?
Not necessarily. The documented workflow is to play media through vMix and send the resulting production to YouTube. vMix Playlist automates playback of multiple inputs; its guide describes setting an item’s start time, duration, and transition. Separately, vMix describes List Input as a way to bring video, audio, and M3U playlist files into one input. Those capabilities do not establish that vMix imports a YouTube playlist URL and rebroadcasts its contents.
If your source is a YouTube playlist URL rather than local media or supported inputs, verify the exact workflow in the current vMix version before purchasing on that assumption. vMix’s own page says it supports streaming to providers including YouTube; that vendor statement is not a guarantee that a particular playlist source can be ingested. vMix Playlist guide · vMix training resources · vMix software.
