There are multiple ways to customize and embed a Wistia Channel, including various customization options to present it as a playlist.
After creating and adding media to your Channel, click "Customize" to access the playlist feature.
Tip
New to Wistia Channels? Check out this overview to get started.
Once in Customize, click into the "Playlist" tab. Here, you can adjust various settings, including playlist position, play behavior, and appearance.
Playlist settings
In the "Playlist settings" section, you can adjust the playlist display and position.
If you disable "Overlay the playlist," it will appear as an additional section alongside the media.
You can choose to display the playlist on the right, bottom, or left side of the media.
With auto-advance enabled, the next episode will play when one is complete, and the visitor will not need to click to play it. With auto-advance disabled, once an episode is complete, the playlist advances to the thumbnail of the next media item, and the visitor must click to play it.
If your playlist is set to loop, it will restart from the beginning after the last media item finishes playing.
Appearance
Set up the player color, background color, and border radius in the appearance section of the playlist customization page. Open up the player color and background color dropdown menus to choose your desired colors. You can optionally limit the spectrum to high-contrast colors to make your content more accessible.

You can also set your player color to a gradient. Click into the "Gradient" tab under player color style to add your desired hex codes and customize the gradient.
Adjust the border radius to decide how rounded you'd like the player to be. This will apply to all parts of the Channel's playlist (including the list of other media).
Video player settings
In the video player settings section, you can upload a logo and customize its position and size. You can also add a URL to the logo, and adjust play buttons and captions.
Once you upload a logo, you can adjust its position and size in the player. You can also choose to toggle it off.
Choose whether or not you'd like to show the big play button, have captions on by default, and/or display the Wistia logo as well.
Password-protected playlist
If you've set up your Channel to be password-protected, and you decide to embed your content via a playlist format, it will also be password-protected.
This applies if you've set up a password in the sharing modal as well.

Tip
You can also password-protect or restrict your playlist to invited users when embedding and sharing it.
