YouTube lets you repeat a podcast episode or loop its whole playlist, but its published playback instructions do not document a setting that removes the transition between separate episodes. Choose playlist repeat to cycle through a show; it may still transition between videos.
Can you remove the gap between YouTube podcast episodes?
YouTube’s instructions explain how to repeat videos and playlists, not how to make separate uploads play without a pause or transition. So there is no documented gap-removal toggle in the controls described by YouTube. The exact cause of a pause can vary; these instructions do not establish that it is always caused by buffering, the upload, or a particular device.
YouTube describes a podcast show as a playlist, with its episodes as videos in that playlist. That makes playlist repeat the relevant control when you want the show to cycle through its episodes. YouTube Help: Create a podcast in YouTube Studio.
Loop one episode or the whole podcast playlist
| What you want | Control | What it repeats |
|---|---|---|
| Hear the same episode again | Loop video | The current video |
| Cycle through the show | Playlist Loop | The videos in the playlist |
Neither control promises to remove transitions between distinct episode videos. YouTube Help: Loop videos or playlists on YouTube — Android.

TV or gaming console
YouTube’s TV and gaming-console instructions use a Repeat control and distinguish repeating the current video from repeating the playlist. The precise on-screen navigation can depend on the app interface; the instructions do not describe a gap-removal setting.
What about embedded podcast players?
If you control an embedded YouTube player, the IFrame Player API’s loop=1 parameter repeats the video or playlist. For a single video, Google says to set the playlist parameter to that same video ID as well. These parameters enable repetition; they do not establish a way to eliminate transitions between separate episode uploads. See YouTube Embedded Players and Player Parameters.
