To play podcast episodes in order on a PC, open the YouTube playlist and start playback from it. YouTube’s Autoplay is different: it starts a related video, and it is not a documented promise that the playlist will repeat forever. If by “stream” you mean broadcasting the playlist as a live event for viewers, use YouTube Studio with an encoder and follow the separate setup below.
Choose what “stream continuously” means
| Goal | Use | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Listen to selected podcast episodes in order | YouTube playlist playback | You can add and reorder episodes. YouTube’s cited help does not establish that the last episode automatically returns to the first. YouTube playlist help |
| Let YouTube choose what plays next | Desktop Autoplay | Autoplay selects a related video; it is not a playlist loop. Its setting can vary by device, and playback may stop after inactivity. YouTube Autoplay help |
| Make a temporary sequence | Desktop queue | The queue does not remain saved after you close the browser. Save it as a playlist if you want to return to it. YouTube queue help |
| Broadcast a live event to viewers | YouTube Live with an encoder | This is a broadcast, not private playlist playback. It requires channel eligibility, encoder setup, adequate upload capacity and monitoring. YouTube live-streaming help |
The official YouTube guidance cited here does not establish a special India-only requirement for desktop playlist playback or the encoder workflow. The same distinction applies whether you are in India or elsewhere.
Play podcast episodes in playlist order on a PC
- Find or create a playlist. Open YouTube in a desktop browser. To create a playlist from an episode, open its watch page, select More → Save → Create new playlist, choose a visibility setting and select Create. YouTube playlist help
- Add more episodes. On another episode, select More → Save and choose the playlist you made.
- Set the episode order. Open the playlist and drag videos up or down to reorder them. Start playback from the playlist when you want that sequence. YouTube playlist help
- Use Autoplay only if you want a related next video. On a computer, turn it on or off with the switch at the bottom of the player. YouTube describes Autoplay as starting another related video after the current one ends, not as returning to the first episode in your playlist. YouTube Autoplay help
What can interrupt playback?
YouTube says Autoplay can stop after 30 minutes on a mobile network and after four hours on Wi-Fi if there has been no activity. Those are Autoplay inactivity limits, not a guarantee about how long playlist playback itself will continue. The setting may also differ between devices. YouTube Autoplay help
If you only need a short-lived sequence, add videos to the desktop queue. Because it does not persist after the browser closes, save the items to a playlist if you want them available later. YouTube queue help

Broadcast a podcast playlist as a YouTube Live event from a PC
Use this route only when you intend to broadcast a live event to viewers. YouTube supports computer streaming by webcam or encoder; an encoder can be software running on your PC or standalone hardware. YouTube says expensive equipment is not required to get started. YouTube live-streaming help
1. Check channel eligibility ahead of time
YouTube’s general live-streaming eligibility guidance states a minimum age of 16 and says the channel must not have had a live-streaming restriction in the previous 90 days. First-time activation can take up to 24 hours, so enable it before the day you plan to broadcast. Check the current rules in YouTube Help because eligibility can change. YouTube live-streaming help

2. Create the event and protect the stream key
In YouTube Studio, open Go Live / Live Control Room and create or schedule the event. YouTube’s stream settings describe creating a stream key and entering it into your encoder. Treat the key like a password: anyone who obtains it may be able to send video to your stream. YouTube also documents latency, DVR and optional auto-start and auto-stop settings in the live-control workflow. YouTube stream settings
3. Configure the encoder for YouTube
Enter YouTube’s stream URL and the event’s stream key in your chosen encoder. YouTube recommends RTMPS. Its published RTMP/RTMPS guidance lists H.264 video, AAC or MP3 audio, constant bitrate encoding and a recommended two-second keyframe interval. Choose resolution and bitrate your PC and upload connection can sustain; YouTube’s listed settings are not a guarantee that a particular PC or connection can maintain them. YouTube encoder settings

The cited YouTube pages do not give one universal, step-by-step method for routing audio and video from a browser playlist into every encoder. Capture and routing steps depend on the encoder and PC setup, so confirm them in the documentation for the software you choose rather than assuming one method works for all.
4. Test, preview and monitor the broadcast
- Test the upload connection and leave headroom. YouTube recommends a 20% bandwidth margin; upload capacity matters more than download speed for sending a stream. YouTube streaming troubleshooting
- Test with audio and video similar to what you plan to broadcast.
- Preview the event in Live Control Room, check stream health and confirm viewers can access it before relying on the broadcast. YouTube live-streaming help
5. Confirm you have rights to the episodes
Do not assume that a podcast episode can be rebroadcast just because it is available on YouTube. You need permission for the specific material you plan to transmit; the YouTube setup instructions do not grant those rights. Copyright permission and the treatment of reused content depend on the material and circumstances, so check the rights and applicable YouTube policies before scheduling the event.

Common problems and practical fixes
- The next episode is not the one you expected: Start from the playlist and check its order. Autoplay chooses a related video rather than serving as a dependable playlist-repeat control. Playlist help · Autoplay help
- The queue is gone: A desktop queue is temporary and does not save when the browser closes. Save the episodes as a playlist for later use. Queue help
- First-time Live is unavailable: Enable live streaming in advance and allow up to 24 hours for activation. Also check the channel’s eligibility and restriction status. YouTube live-streaming help
- The encoder cannot connect or stream health is poor: Check the stream URL and key, use the supported encoder settings, test upload capacity and leave the recommended bandwidth margin. Preview and monitor stream health in Live Control Room. Encoder settings · Streaming troubleshooting
- The broadcast stops when you step away from the PC: A PC-based encoder depends on that PC and its connection remaining available. If you want a pre-recorded playlist to run without keeping your computer on, a cloud service is an alternative.
Or let it run in the cloud
