You can learn how to loop a YouTube video by accessing it via the website. This is a very simple process and literally requires one click.

When it comes to putting a video on loop in the app, the process takes much longer compared to doing it via the website. There are many steps involved before you can do that and they are listed below:

Step 1

Go to the app and open the video you would like on loop. When you tap the video, there will be an icon of three lines and a plus sign on the top of the screen.

Step 2

Tap on that icon. Then an option to ‘Create Playlist’ will appear in blue. Tap on that.

Step 3

You will be asked to name the playlist and set the privacy settings you want. Then tap on the ‘Create’ option.

Step 4

Now you will have to go back to the home screen of your app. On the bottom right, you have the icon of ‘Library’. Tap that icon and then select your playlist.

Step 5

At this point, you should have your video playing on the app. You will see a small downwards-facing arrowhead on the bottom of the video where it ends. Tap on that.

Step 6

This will display your entire playlist, where you can see which video is currently playing and all the other videos in the playlist.

Step 7

On the upper left-hand side of the playlist, you will see an icon of two arrows. These represent a loop. Tap on that icon and your video will be on a loop.
