If you have a YouTube channel and want to add a feature that allows viewers to watch your videos later, there are a few things you can do. First, make sure that your channel is set up to allow viewers to “watch later.” This can be done by going to YouTube’s settings and clicking on the “History” tab. Then, under “History Type,” select “Watch Later.” Next, create a playlist for your videos. This playlist should be named after the title of your video, such as “Clear ‘Watch Later’ on YouTube.” Once you have created the playlist, add any videos you want to watch later into it. Finally, if you want viewers to be able to watch your videos even after they’ve finished watching them on YouTube, add a flag to each video in the playlist so that viewers can only watch those videos once.
With so many videos to watch on YouTube, it’s easy to get your “Watch Later” list cluttered. Luckily, with a few clicks (or taps), you can clear this list in your account. We’ll show you how.
When you clear the “Watch Later” list, YouTube removes both your partially and fully-watched videos from the list. It doesn’t remove the videos that you have not started to watch. To remove these videos, you’ll have to click the three-dots menu next to each video and select “Remove from Watch Later.”
Clear “Watch Later” from the YouTube Website
