How to create a Custom Player in YouTube®

I've noticed that many people still post the first video of a multi-part series instead of creating a custom player, while posting links to the other parts as the first comment.

Not only is the posting of multiple links as time consuming as creating a custom player, but tends to lack a bit of luster and removes the user from the VideoSift® page to see the rest of the video.

Once you create your first player, you'll see how easy it is and will be able to create them with ease.

<b>Things you'll need:</b>
<li>1 YouTube® account
<li>Multiple videos on YouTube®
<li>Just a few minutes of your time

<b>Step I:</b>
- Open the first video that will be in your new player.
- Click on the <b>"Add to playlist"</b> link underneath the video.
- Select the <b>"Create new playlist"</b> link at the bottom of the dropdown combo box.
- Call the playlist what the title of the movie is.
- Type in or paste in a description (max 1000 words).

<b>Step II:</b>
- Open the 2nd video that will be in your new player.
- Click on the <b>"Add to playlist"</b> link underneath the video.
- Select the playlist you just created (Refresh the page if needed).
- Repeat this step for each additional video part to complete your playlist.

<b>Step III:</b>
- Click on the <b>"Account"</b> link at the top right next to your YouTube name.
- Click on the <b>"Playlists"</b> link under the "My Videos" section</b>.
- Locate and select your new playlist and click on it.

<b>Step IV:</b>
- Click the <b>"Create Custom Player"</b> Button.
- Customize the player as needed.
- Click the <b>"Generate Code"</b> Button.
- Copy this code in the Video Embed Code section of Videosift® when you submit a new video.

<b>Step V:</b>
- Enjoy watching your complete uninterrupted show in your new custom player in Videosift®.
