How to Find the Total Duration of a YouTube Playlist

If you want to find out how long a YouTube playlist is, you can use one of these easy methods:

Method 1: Directly on YouTube
Go to YouTube: Open the YouTube website.
Find Your Playlist: Go to the playlist you want to check.
Check the Duration:
Open the playlist.
Look at the top of the playlist to see the total runtime, usually displayed above the video list.

Method 2: Using a Third-Party Website
Visit a Calculator Website: Go to a site like YouTube Playlist Length Calculator or Playlist Analyzer. I personally recommend the first one for its extra features.
Enter the Playlist URL:
Copy the URL of your YouTube playlist.
Paste it into the website’s input box.
Get the Duration:
Click the button to calculate.
The website will show you the total duration of the playlist.

Method 3: Using a Browser Extension
Install the Extension:
Go to the Chrome Web Store.
Search for a YouTube playlist duration calculator extension.
Click “Add to Chrome” to install it.
Check the Duration:
Open your YouTube playlist.
The extension will automatically display the total duration.

Summary
On YouTube: Open the playlist and check the duration at the top.
Third-Party Website: Paste the playlist URL into the site to get the duration.
