It’s fairly trivial to make a playlist on YouTube, whether of your own or others’ videos. And of course, you can make a custom channel URL. But what if you want to make a custom playlist URL – i.e. a custom URL for one of your playlists?
For example, what if you want to turn a YouTube playlist URL like this: https://www.theinternetpatrol.com/brick-wall/
into something more user-friendly, or easy to remember, like this?: http://tinyurl.com/TIP-Playlist,
Well, the short answer is: you can’t.
At least, despite the fact that Google has its very own URL shortening service, you can’t create a custom YouTube playlist URL directly through YouTube. In fact, you can’t actually even create a custom URL through Google’s goo.gl URL shortening sevice at all, all you can do is create a shorter URL.
