The leader in user generated videos, YouTube, has just launched a new “custom player” feature,  allowing you to personalize embedded YouTube videos.

You can edit features such as the name of the player, pick a color scheme and even the video layout, with an option to display or hide related visual content.

This customization can be used on your own videos or those by others saved as favorites or in a play list. In addition, the new tool allows viewers to skip to any part of a stream, similar to WellcomeMat.

After picking the desired options (although limited at present), your can then generate a code, which will allow their individual design to be embedded on other websites, complete with the content they have chosen to fill it with.

It’s pretty basic stuff, and YouTube still offers the absolute worse quality videos on the entire internet, but for those of you who use it, this is a nice addition.
