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
First time making a Channel? Check out this page to learn all about the set-up and how they work.
Once in Customize, click into the "Playlist" tab. Here, you can adjust a number of settings, including playlist position, play behavior, and appearance.
Playlist settings
Within the Playlist settings section, you can adjust how the playlist displays, as well as how it is positioned.
If you disable "Overlay the playlist," it will show as an additional section along with 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 will advance to the thumbnail of the next media and the visitor will need to click to play it.
If your playlist is set to loop, it will start from the beginning after the last media has finished 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 also optionally limit the spectrum to high-contrast colors to make your content more accessible.

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 in the player, as well as the size. 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.
