Presto Player Playlists

Playlists let you group multiple videos and play them in sequence on a single page. This feature is available with Presto Player Pro. A playlist pulls videos from your Media Hub and displays them together, making it useful for courses, tutorials, or any content meant to be watched in order.

Playlists are added directly to a page using a dedicated Presto Playlist block. You do not need to create a separate playlist page or item in the Media Hub.

Adding a Playlist to a Page

Playlists are added like any other block.

1. Edit a page or post using the block editor
2. Open the block inserter
3. Add the Presto Playlist block

4. Select the videos you want to include from the Media Hub

5. Reorder or remove videos as needed

Once added, the playlist is immediately visible in the editor.

Playlist Customization Options

Playlists can be customized directly in the block settings.

Text Labels

You can customize all visible text, including:

• Playlist heading
• Singular and plural labels for items
• Per-video titles shown in the list

Playback Behavior

• Control the transition delay between videos
• Enable an automatic “up next” transition when a video ends
• The selected playback speed and play position can persist across videos in the playlist

Styling

You can visually customize the playlist, including:

• Highlight color
• Background color
• Text color
• Border width
• Border radius

These styles apply to the playlist container, while each video inside the playlist keeps its own preset settings.

Editing Playlist Items

Each playlist item can be adjusted individually:

• Change the displayed title
• Set a duration label to show video length
• Hide the duration by leaving the field empty

This helps viewers quickly understand what is coming next and how long each video is.

Using Presets With Playlists

Videos inside a playlist use the preset assigned to them in the Media Hub. This means you can:

• Apply email gates, CTAs, or branding through presets
• Keep consistent behavior across all videos in the playlist
• Update video behavior globally by editing the preset

Adding Playlists to Page Builders

When using page builders that do not support blocks, playlists can be added using shortcodes.

Playlist Shortcode Example

[presto_playlist heading="Course Playlist" listTextSingular="Course" listTextPlural="Courses" transitionDuration=10 styles="--presto-playlist-highlight-color: purple; --presto-playlist-text-color: white; --presto-playlist-background-color: black; --presto-playlist-border-radius: 48px; --presto-playlist-border-width: 17px;"]
  [presto_playlist_item id=468 title="Introduction" duration="2m"]
  [presto_playlist_item id=466 title="Customization" duration="4m"]
  [presto_playlist_item id=462 title="Conclusion" duration="3m"]
[/presto_playlist]

The video ID used in each playlist item can be found in the Media Hub URL when editing a video.

Hiding the Duration

To hide the duration for a playlist item, set the attribute to an empty value:

duration=""

Notes on Playlists

• Playlists are added directly to pages, not created as separate Media Hub items
• Videos must already exist in the Media Hub
• Playlist styling is independent from video presets
• Playback behavior is shared across videos in the playlist
• Playlists are designed to be flexible, reusable, and easy to integrate into existing pages without additional setup

Conclusion

Presto Player Playlists make it easy to group and sequence videos on a single page using a dedicated block. Whether you are building a course, a tutorial series, or any multi-video layout, playlists give you control over order, labeling, playback behavior, and visual styling. Videos retain their individual preset settings, so your existing automations, gates, and branding carry through automatically. For page builders that do not support blocks, shortcodes provide the same functionality.
