Getting Started: Contact lists

Print

Once you've added your friends to one of your contact lists, you can easily share your favorite videos with lots of people at once.
Here's how to add a friend to your list:

  1. Sign in.
  2. Go to your friend's profile page: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=USERNAME
  3. Within his or her "Connect with USERNAME" section, click the "Add as friend" button.
  4. Choose one of your contact lists from the drop-down menu.
  5. Click the "Send Invite" button.

Please note, you cannot add yourself as a friend. While you won't see the "Add as friend" button on your own profile page, others will be able to see it there.
