How to Bulk Add Videos to Queue

As you see in the manual step, it is quite simple. The script below will simulate these steps.

Open Google Chrome’s DevTool by pressing Ctrl+Shift+I or F12.
Switch to Console tab.
Copy and paste the script below to the console window

var itemIndex = 0;
const maxToAdd = 10;
const delay = 1000; //1 second
if(itemIndex < maxToAdd){
	setInterval(function() {
	document.querySelectorAll('#primary button[aria-label="Action menu"]')[itemIndex].click();
		var items = document.evaluate('//yt-formatted-string[contains(text(),"Add to queue")]',document,null,XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,null);
		for (var i = 0; i < items.snapshotLength; i++) {
		    items.snapshotItem(i).click();	    
		}					
		itemIndex++;
	}, delay);
}

You can adjust max videos allowed to add (maxToAdd) you want to add to queue and the interval (delay) each video is added.
