The queue enables you to keep your audience entertained and engaged by automatically queuing up a relevant video.
In this article you'll learn how to activate the queue and what are the rules around the queue creation.

Content rules for the Queue
In order to define the content that will be displayed in the queue, we apply the following set of rules in the following order :
- We check if the Play next field has been edited on the video edition panel in you Partner Space.
- If there is no Play next set, we check if the queue has been customized (more details below).
- If no customization has been set, we will use the most recent public videos from the uploader's channel.
- If the channel doesn't have any public videos, we will use recent and trending content from different uploaders.
Queue specifications
- The queue contains up to 10 new videos to discover for your audience.
- The queue is enabled by default on all the embedded players.

Autoplay content when the video is ending
When a video is ending, the queue will start, allowing you to access new videos and continue to watch content. From there, you'll be able to trigger several actions:
- If you don't interact with the player, the next content in the carousel will automatically start after 6 seconds.
- If you scroll / swipe horizontally to discover new content, the countdown will stop and you will be able to manually start the content you've selected.
