# Playlists and channels

When you paste a playlist link, OmniGet lists every item and lets you tick the ones to download. For long channels, filters, or keeping up with new uploads, use the tools linked at the end of this page.

## Where it is

**Home**, after you paste a playlist link. The list opens under **Download options**.

## How to use it

1.  Paste the playlist link in the box on Home.
2.  OmniGet shows **Playlist** under the box and **Loading playlist…** while it reads the items.
3.  Every item comes ticked. The counter at the top shows how many are ticked, as **N of M selected**.
4.  Untick the items you do not want. Use **Select all** or **None** to change every item at once.
5.  Open **Quality and more** to pick the mode and quality. They apply to every video.
6.  Click **Download N videos**. Follow the progress in the [Queue](https://getomniget.com/docs/queue).

## Options

| Option | What it does | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Select all** | Ticks every item in the list. | Every item is ticked |
| **None** | Unticks every item. |  |
| **Quality and more** | Mode and **Quality** for every video in the playlist. | Your default quality |

The format table (**View formats**) does not apply to playlists. **Download only a section** is also hidden for playlists.

## Related tools

-   **Downloads › Tools › Channel picker**: lists a channel or playlist page by page, filters by title or length, hides Shorts and videos you already downloaded, then downloads the ones you tick. See [Download tools](https://getomniget.com/docs/dl-tools).
-   [Followed channels](https://getomniget.com/docs/channels): follow a channel or playlist and download new uploads on a schedule.
-   **Downloads › Tools › Profile sync**: save a profile or gallery link once; each sync after the first gets only new files. See [Download tools](https://getomniget.com/docs/dl-tools).

## Common problems

### Could not load playlist items

OmniGet could not read the list. The download button still works and downloads the whole playlist. If the playlist needs a login, see [Accounts and cookies](https://getomniget.com/docs/cookies).

### Select at least one item to download

You unticked every item. Tick at least one, or click **Select all**.
