An extension to calculate & display the total duration of a youtube playlist.
💎 Features:
- Calculate the total duration of a YouTube playlist
- Sort small playlists (100 videos or less) by different criteria
- Duration
- View count
- Upload date
- Channel name
💡 How to use:
After installing & enabling the extension, simply visit any youtube playlist overview page (the url should begin with 'https://youtube.com/playlist';).
For example: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrtg3MOb7tvG9h9rll5V9O96owfcBpROG
The total duration of the playlist can then be found within the playlist information panel, located on the left-hand side of the page.
You will see the following displayed:
- Total duration (formatted as hh:mm:ss)
- Videos counted (how many videos were used to calculate the total duration)
- Videos not counted (how many videos could not be used to calculate the total duration)

- (2024-04-10) John Lewis: As of today, I can confirm this extension now works in my Watch Later playlist. That was the last thing I was hoping for, so many thanks to the developer. You made a great solution for what YouTube decided to drop some years ago. Blessings! April 10, 2024 The new sort playlist feature is a really cool additon to an already great extension. WTG, dev team!
- (2024-02-24) Isaiah Farb: Simple to use and almost always works! I am always grateful for this sunshine modicum of an add-on. Thank you for doing the job that YouTube shockingly can't.
- (2023-10-13) Alex: Бывает, что криво считает
- (2023-09-22) Amir: i tested it out with a few playlists that i calculated the duration beforehand and it seems to be accurate. pretty cool...
- (2023-08-16) Arbab Malik: Sometimes it doesn't tell the exact duration of a playlist
- (2023-08-05) Ranjan Kumar Hasda: The actual playlist duration sums above 100 hours but the extension shows only 26:32:13 I think the extension wants to say 126:32:13
- (2023-07-25) Jeff Valcher: Works for me. Nice info layout.
- (2023-07-09) Himanshu: Not 100% times gives or calculates the result....you have to restart extension to do so every time
- (2023-06-06) Animesh Kumar: not working
- (2023-05-25) Nibir Chowdhury: Doesn't show correct result. With every refresh you get a different number.
- (2023-04-29) Abdallah GP: don't install it. they need to delete it from the chrome web store. it's shows wrong results.
- (2023-04-19) saulo brandao: Sensacional, finalmente eu sei quanto tempo de conteúdo tem nas playlists que eu tenho que estudar.
- (2023-04-02) Achin Kumar: Everytime I refreshed it showed me a different time. Inaccurate
- (2023-03-26) tiger: Everytime I refreshed it showed me a different time. Inaccurate
- (2023-03-10) Mridul: doesn't work correctly
- (2023-02-23) Pradeep: in accurate it showed 01:18:20. there where 87 videos which includes a video of 11 and a half hours.
- (2023-01-14) Sude D: her denemede aynı playlistte farklı süreler gösteriyor saçma sapan bi uygulama
- (2023-01-07) Jules Pena: Did not work. I had 22 songs on my playlist, all at least 5 mins, and it told me the playlist was 2 minutes long. Then reloaded. 15 minutes. It doesn't work.
- (2023-01-03) Gregory Miranda: Works fantastic! Playtime is accurate for me. Really happy with the extension, thank you! :)
- (2022-12-25) Alek Lavr: Не работает
- (2022-12-23) H.H Wai: Calculation is sometimes off by hours which is shocking! When I refreshed the page, I see this app either doesn't show duration on my playlist or shows different duration each time. My playlist for overnight sleep listening is just a little bit over 6 hours meanwhile this app shows 30 mins, 45 mins and even over 9 hours each time I refresh the page. I'll not uninstall for now and let the Developer have the chance to fix the app to better quality
- (2022-12-21) Evgeny Kharyushin: Doesn't calculate correctly and writes NAN when one of the videos is upcoming.
- (2022-12-17) meelybug123: Changes the playlist duration if I refresh the page on certain playlists for some reason; makes it hard to know the actual duration of the playlist without adding the lengths of the videos together yourself.
- (2022-12-06) Brandon DeAlmeida: Works perfectly! Don't know why YouTube doesn't show this already
- (2022-11-29) thegees: it works edit 2 days later: it only works on my playlists not on anyone elses
- (2022-11-27) Phoenix Aki: Can confirm as of 11/27/22 it works on both my watch later + liked videos + custom playlists as well. Thanks!
- (2022-11-24) Stéphanie Sevaux: Doesn't work, gives me a random time. Looks nice tho
- (2022-11-24) Andrei: There is a bug with counting when a playlist has an announced or ongoing live stream Total duration: NaN:NaN:NaN
- (2022-11-23) Hubert Marczak: Thank you for this very useful addon and fast update after YouTube re-design. However, the addon doesn't work for Watch later playlist for me (it worked in older version of the addon before re-design). Also due to the div wrapper of svg icon, it's not centered alongside with text "Scroll down to count more videos". Edit: After YouTube Watch Later update (new design applied) addon works, however centering an icon would be most welcome ;)
- (2022-11-17) Сковородка: не правильно считает вермя( пример: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLejGw9J2xE9UqZEgb4uM9IvLQdRur9K9n )
- (2022-11-17) Ahmet Kaan Yamuk: doesn't work
- (2022-11-04) Amir I: Been using it for a few years. But then the YouTube update broke it. But then it got updated for the first time in 2 years! But plot twist: for some reason youtube went back to old layout for me and it no longer works
- (2022-11-03) Rick Whitechest: It's updated and better than ever! Love how natural it looks on YouTube's new layout, almost like it's a stock feature! Recommended!
- (2022-10-30) Teetan Robotics: Youtube updated its playlist interface + hidden videos not compatible with this extension. Otherwise amazing effort. Thanks for the extension.
- (2022-03-15) Mehmetcan Mutlu: bazen çalışıyor bazen çalışmıyor f5 atıyorum olmuyor falan siliyorum
- (2022-03-06) Aditya Thapa: Hey dev, can you add an option to subtract the time a user has watched the playlist? Like if I have seen 2 videos of 4 min(total 8 minutes) from a playlist, it will subtract that time from the playlist. It would be useful for a course or to keep track of already watched content
- (2022-03-05) Juan Carlos Amaranto González: Siendo 04 de marzo 2022 aun funciona correctamente esta extensión
- (2022-02-14) Brian B.: Sometimes it doesn't display the duration, sometimes it displays an incorrect duration (e.g. 25 hours for 20 videos approx 5 minutes each), and sometimes it displays two different durations, one above the other.
- (2022-01-15) BeanBoy420: Very helpful, didnt calculate all videos at first, but i just scrolled through the playlist to get it to load them.
- (2021-11-26) potassium ._.: very good
- (2021-11-13) Laurens Koehoorn: Nice if less than 1000 videos in the playlist, if 1000 or more, the informational calculation won't be shown... Here an example of a list of more than 1000 videos : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL75zohcRq_1DeG8clmcyxgln6KVyNt2zK
- (2021-11-10) deep: go for it
- (2021-11-03) Billy Stanley: this is great at doing what it says it does and the only thing I would add/change would be the option to also calculate the time remaining (so [total time of all videos]-[ time of video's already watched]=[remaining time] )
- (2021-10-10) Tanner Amsler: update@2021-10-10: now it displayed out, but with 1 main issue: what displayed as: X videos Y views Last updated on Z. the Y value is less than the real views value, even less than 1 video, not to say the X videos. why the big difference here? thanks. at first, don't know why, but ther's no effect displayed out there as it's expected. i've tried 2 devices, neither worked.
- (2021-10-02) Vincent Vega: Güzel çalışıyor
- (2021-09-28) Thunder Cock: Good.
- (2021-08-22) Lee Li: Perfect
- (2021-08-20) emo vibes.: It is the best and ONLY extension to calculate the duration of my playlists that worked. It is very practical and easy to use, I loved it. Never modify or delete it, please. I loved her.
- (2021-08-04) Bestgameryt: There's No Virus Or scam it Legit What the description says it is.
- (2021-05-31) Gabriel: actually works
