How do collaborative playlists work YouTube?

Back in March, we spotted Google working on collaborative playlists for its primary streaming service. YouTube Music now has a Collaborate button, though the functionality is not yet active.

Visiting a playlist in the latest version [3.69] of YouTube Music for Android and then tapping the Edit/pencil icon reveals a new Collaborate button next to the Privacy menu. Regardless of what preference you set Public, Unlisted, or Private today, the new option cannot be launched. Rather, a Navigation unavailable toast message appears at the bottom of the screen.

Earlier this year, strings revealed how youll be provided with a link to share. Users will always have the option to turn off collaboration wherein Playlist will no longer receive contributions, and all collaborators will be removed.

Such a capability for playlists in the broader YouTube service has long been available. Direct integration in the YouTube Music mobile apps would be highly convenient.

This upcoming feature will help the service be more social. It comes after a few weeks of new features being announced left, right, and center as the transition away from Play Music starts:

• Google Maps for Android now supports YouTube Music when navigating
• YouTube Music will send Playlist update notifications on Android, iOS
• YouTube Musics status bar icon now matches the app logo
• [Update: Now on web] YouTube Music replacing Hotlist with new Explore tab
• YouTube Music now lets users pre-save albums before release
• YouTube Music adds homescreen shortcut to start My Station/Your Mix
• YouTube Musics Now Playing UI adds powerful Related songs, playlists tab
