Getting Started With the Yahoo! Music Video Player

Welcome! Finding Videos Video Player Controls Using Browse Videos Using the Video Lineup System Requirements and Video Quality

Using the Video Lineup

The Video Lineup appears on the right side of the player. This is essentially the playlist of upcoming videos during your current viewing session. You can control which videos you see, and reorganize the Video Lineup to tailor to your interests.

When you start the Yahoo! Music Video Player, you’ll see a pre-loaded list of fresh videos, based on popularity, recommendations, and more. However, you may wish to create a Video Lineup of your own.

Here’s How

  1. You can leave the pre-loaded videos in your line up, but if you’d rather start with a clean slate, you can simply click the Clear Lineup button at the top of the Video Lineup.

    The Clear Lineup button

    This removes all the videos, and allows you to build a new Video Lineup using search and browse.

  2. Search for videos (by title) or by artist, using the search box in the browse tray or use the channel selector on the left side of the browse tray to browse channels and videos. (Remind me how.)

  3. Once you find a video you want to add to your Video Lineup, click the item’s +Lineup button.

    This adds the video as the next upcoming selection.

  4. To reorder the items on your Video Lineup, simply drag the item up or down and set the playlist in the order you wish.

  5. To remove videos in the Video Lineup, simply click the X on the selected video(s).

    The Remove button

    Note: Removing a video from the lineup removes it permanently.

 

What’s Next

The Video Lineup persists as long as you watch videos during any given session. Once you close the Video player, the Video Lineup is also closed; you’ll be presented with a fresh list of recommended videos the next time you start the player.

Now you have all the basics for watching and enjoying videos with Yahoo! Music. To find out what your computer will need to watch videos using the Yahoo! Music Video Player, continue on to System Requirements and Video Quality.
