Customize the video player

With a Solo Premier, Solo Max, or Team Plan, you can easily customize the video player to match your personality, brand, or campaign.

Please note that if you are a member of a Team Plan, your Account Owner or Administrator might choose to limit these controls for team members and configure them at an administrative level instead. If you are unable to turn on Player Customization or Player Branding, contact your Team Admin.

To customize the video player, follow the steps below.

1. Log into your account.

2. Click My Content in the upper right corner.

The button and player control text will automatically change to white on darker backgrounds, and to black on lighter or brighter backgrounds to meet the requirements for contrast conformity. To read more about the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines for contrast conformity, see this article.

6. You can preview your changes by clicking Save at any time.

7. Under Player Control Options, click player options to select and enable them.

8. When you are finished, click Save.
