How this works
Paste a playlist link (it contains "list="). The tool reads the playlist and adds up the duration of up to its first 300 public videos through the YouTube Data API. A 300-video playlist costs about 13 quota units, and a repeat lookup within six hours comes from our cache.
The total is the length of the videos. Time at a faster speed is the total divided by the speed, which is how YouTube's speed setting works. Pauses, rewinding and breaks are not counted.
The days column divides the time at each speed by the minutes you can watch per day and rounds up to whole days.
Private and deleted videos are invisible to the API and are skipped. If a playlist has more than 300 videos, the page says so and the totals cover the first 300 only.
