# Update a video playlist

`PUT /api/v1/video-playlists/{playlistId}`

If the video playlist is set as public, the playlist must have a assigned channel.

Authentication (security requirement alternatives):

```json
[
  {
    "OAuth2": []
  }
]
```

- OAuth2: oauth2. Authenticating via OAuth requires the following steps:
- Have an activated account
- [Generate] an access token for that account at `/api/v1/users/token`.
- Make requests with the *Authorization: Bearer <token\>* header
- Profit, depending on the role assigned to the account

Note that the __access token is valid for 1 day__ and is given
along with a __refresh token valid for 2 weeks__.
