A Membership.io account
-
Some files in your Library
What can I use this for?
A Membership.io Library Playlist is a curated list of files you can share with your audience. Playlists can be shared through the Playlist URL, embedded in another platform, or added to a Hub as Hub-only Playlists.
Library Playlists and Hub Playlists serve different purposes, though they function similarly. Read this article to learn more about the differences between library and Hub playlists.
We'll focus on Library playlists in this article.
Step 1 - Navigate to the Library tab
Click Library in your account's navigation bar. You'll see Folders as a default page. Click Playlists to get to it.
Step 2 - Create a new Playlist
Create a new Playlist by clicking the (+) button. Enter a name for your Playlist and click + Create Playlist.
Step 3 - Add Media to the Playlist
First things first, you'll want to add content to your Playlist. Click to open your new Playlist, and click + Add Content to populate your Playlist.
You can add content in a few different ways:
-
Upload content from your local device into your Playlist
-
Select existing content from your Library to add to your Playlist
-

If you're adding content from your Library, you can select what files inside a Folder you want to add to your Playlist.
Step 4 - Sort the Playlist
Once the Playlist has been filled with some content, you can check out the sort options to arrange the media however you like. The file at the top will appear first when your audience views the Playlist.
You can also use the 
drag-and-drop button to rearrange your content. Make sure to save your changes.
Step 5 - Finish customizing your playlist
