YouTube Playlist Duration Calculator | Calculate Playlist Time at Different Speeds

How to Use This YouTube Playlist Time Calculator

Our YouTube playlist duration calculator helps you determine exactly how long it will take to watch an entire playlist at different playback speeds. Here's how to use it:

Step 1: Find Your YouTube Playlist

Go to YouTube and navigate to the playlist you want to calculate. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar. The URL should contain "playlist?list=" followed by a series of letters and numbers.

Step 2: Paste the Playlist URL

Paste the copied URL into the input field above labeled "YouTube Playlist URL". Our tool will automatically verify if it's a valid YouTube playlist link.

Step 3: Select Playback Speed

Choose your desired playback speed from the options (1x normal speed up to 2x speed). The calculator will show you how much time you'll save at faster speeds.

Step 4: View Results

Click "Calculate Duration" to see the total playlist time at normal speed and your selected speed, plus how much time you'll save by watching faster.
