PLAYER-Creating and Sharing Playlists in Alludo

This article shows players (users) how to create and share Playlists in Alludo

Written by Sue Soltis

Playlists are a way for you to create lists of activities. They can be public or private so you can build a list of activities for your personal use or you can build a list and share with people.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PLAYLISTS

You can build and share playlists with anyone, but the person must have permission to complete the underlying activities included in the playlist. The person must be enrolled in the game before they can access the activities. Sharing a playlist does not grant access to the activity.

If the person does not have access, they will see a lock icon next to the activity in the playlist.
