The channel length calculator adds up every public upload on a YouTube channel and shows the total time it would take to watch them all, at normal speed and at 1.25x to 2x. It also lists every video with its length, so you can sort a channel's videos from longest to shortest, and it plans how many days it would take at the minutes you watch each day.
How long would it take to watch every video on a channel?
Paste the channel link or @handle above and press Calculate. Big channels load in batches. You get the total length, the number of videos, the average, longest and shortest upload, and a finish date for the days you watch. Very large channels are counted from their 5,000 newest uploads.
How to watch all videos on a YouTube channel in order
Every channel has a hidden playlist of all its uploads. Its address is the channel ID with UC at the start changed to UU: a channel with the ID UCabc123 has the uploads playlist youtube.com/playlist?list=UUabc123. Open it to play every video in a row, newest first. On the channel's Videos tab you can also sort by latest, popular or oldest, and start from there.
Sort YouTube channel videos by length
After calculating, use the Sort menu above the video list to see a channel's videos from longest to shortest, or shortest first. YouTube's own channel page can only sort by date and popularity.
What gets counted
Every public video in the channel's uploads, including Shorts and past live streams. Private, deleted and members-only videos are left out because their length is not public. Videos are listed newest first, so "From video 1 to 50" times the 50 most recent uploads.

Questions
How long would it take to watch a whole YouTube channel?
Paste the channel link or @handle above. PlaylistTime adds up the length of every public upload and shows the total at normal speed and at 1.25x to 2x.
How do I watch all videos on a YouTube channel in order?
Use the channel's uploads playlist: take the channel ID, change the UC at the start to UU, and open youtube.com/playlist?list= followed by that ID. It plays every upload in a row, newest first.
Does it include Shorts and live streams?
It counts every public upload in the channel's uploads list, which includes Shorts and past live streams. Streams that are live right now are listed but not counted.
Why is the video count different from the channel page?
Private, deleted and members-only videos are not public, so they cannot be counted. Very large channels are counted from their 5,000 newest uploads.
Can I sort a channel's videos by length?
Yes. After calculating, choose longest first or shortest first in the Sort menu above the video list.
Can I time only some of the videos?
Yes. Use the range boxes to time, for example, the 50 most recent uploads.
