Save Videos For Later with the YouTube Quicklist

By Wendy Boswell, About.com

YouTube is addictive, but what if you don't have time to watch all the videos you want to watch? Save them to your YouTube Quicklist for easy viewing later when you're able to kick back and relax. Here's how it works:
  • Go to YouTube. You don't need to be signed in to utilize the QuickList feature; but if you want to save a QuickList to a Playlist (this group favorite videos together into your own personal categories).
  • For the sake of simplicity, browse the front page for videos you like. Do NOT click on the video itself - find the little plus sign in the lefthand corner of the video and click on that.
  • Look at the top of the page. You should see a text link to your Quicklist with the number of videos you have waiting to watch.
Note: I found this feature, while convenient, extremely buggy (it kept erasing my picks!!). But it's a good thing to know the next time your queue of David Hasselhoff vids is getting unmanageable.
