A loop plays a playlist — one video or many — to your destination on repeat. You can reorder the videos, shuffle them, add a separate audio track, schedule when the loop goes live, and even change the playlist while you’re streaming. This page assumes you’ve already uploaded a video.

​
Add your videos

1

Open the Playlist tab

In your loop, open the Playlist tab and select the Video tab.
2

Add videos

Click Upload to add files from your computer (MP4, MOV, or MKV, up to 10 GB each), or From URL to import from Google Drive, a YouTube video, or a direct download link. You can also drag files straight onto the list.YouTube imports run end-to-end on Streamloop’s servers and pull the highest quality available for the video — a merged MP4 up to 4K (2160p), including AV1 sources. If a link points at a YouTube playlist or a Google Drive folder, Streamloop imports the first item in it; paste each item’s own link to add more than one.

Reorder them

Drag any video to change its position. The order you see is the order it plays.

​
Choose how it loops

Under the playlist, the Loop behavior section controls the order each time the playlist repeats:
  • In order — play 1 → 2 → 3, then repeat.
  • Shuffle — random order, with no repeats until every video has played.
  • Custom order — describe the rule in plain language (a pre-roll that plays once, time-of-day stings, weighted rotations) and Streamloop turns it into a sandboxed program that picks the next item on every loop. See Custom playlist order.

​
Add a separate audio track

Switch to the Audio tab to add audio that plays over your video instead of its original sound — useful for music, radio, and lofi channels. Upload MP3, WAV, FLAC, or AAC; like videos, audio can be a single track or a whole playlist.

​
Schedule when it goes live

In the loop’s status panel you’ll find the Schedule controls:
  • Schedule loop — turn this on and enter a start time in plain language, like in 2h or tomorrow 9am. The loop shows as Scheduled and goes live on its own. You can Start now or Cancel at any time before it begins.
  • Loop expiration — set a run length or a specific end time so the stream stops automatically.
  • Start on upload — start the stream the moment your uploads finish, without scheduling.
Relative durations (like a 2-hour run length) start counting once the stream goes live, not when you set them.

​
Edit the playlist while you’re live

You don’t have to stop a running stream to change what’s playing:
1

Make your changes

While the stream is live, add, remove, or reorder videos in the Playlist tab as usual. Nothing changes on air yet — your edits are a draft.
2

Publish

Click Publish. Use View changes first to review what’s pending. The on-air playlist (shown as Live (v1), Live (v2), and so on) updates at the end of the current clip, so the broadcast keeps running without a restart. If a publish fails, click Retry.
Quality, frame rate, and destination changes still need a restart — only playlist changes go on air live. Next: set up your destination and get your stream live.
