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.
Edit a page or post using the block editor
Open the block inserter
Add the Presto Playlist block
Select the videos you want to include from the Media Hub
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
Please login for access.
Login
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.
