How to Bulk Add Videos to Queue
As you see in the manual step, it is quite simple. The script below will simulate these steps.
- Open Google Chrome’s DevTool by pressing Ctrl+Shift+I or F12.
- Switch to Console tab.
- Copy and paste the script below to the console window
var itemIndex = 0;
const maxToAdd = 10;
const delay = 1000; //1 second
if(itemIndex < maxToAdd){
setInterval(function() {
document.querySelectorAll('#primary button[aria-label="Action menu"]')[itemIndex].click();
var items = document.evaluate('//yt-formatted-string[contains(text(),"Add to queue")]',document,null,XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,null);
for (var i = 0; i < items.snapshotLength; i++) {
items.snapshotItem(i).click();
}
itemIndex++;
}, delay);
}
You can adjust max videos allowed to add (maxToAdd) you want to add to queue and the interval (delay) each video is added.
