Changes in this major update include:

- Updated the stack to use YouTube API 3\*
- The stack is now able to fetch either a YouTube channel or a video playlist
- All colour pickers support RGBa opacity sliders, in the colour settings
- Added some more style options
- You no longer need to use an HTML snippet to place the playlist
- Related video’s can now be toggled on or off in the stack settings
- Autoplay is now a customisable option
- You can customise how many video’s are shown in the playlist
- Better compatibility with our forthcoming RWML 2 stack

_\* Depending on when you last generated an API key, you may need to generate a new API key for this version of the stack._

This stack makes it easier to embed a YouTube channel or playlist, within your RapidWeaver website. You can safely use multiple [uTubeChannel](https://stacks4stacks.com/utubechannel/) stacks on the same webpage, making it perfect for more complex video portfolios or for use within multilingual setups (e.g. RWML).

Each time you add a new video to a playlist or your YouTube channel, the video is automatically added on your webpage. Therefore there’s no need to manually add the video in RapidWeaver and republish the website each time!

A basic array of style and colour options let you safely customise the basics of the player interface, to make it look like an integral part of your website.

uTubeChannel remains a free stack to download and use in all your projects. If you find it useful, you can make a contribution [here](https://stacks4stacks.com/contribute) to support ongoing updates and development. Paid support is available if you require help with generating an API key or other aspects.

Hi, @willwood,  
I started playing around with your player. 😉 I wonder how (if) it is possible to get Font Awesome symbols into the **Previous** and **Next** inputs?

 ![Font Awesome in settings](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/5/529c9e52ef4a67c27f44b2e998d7528b74037a01.jpg)

I’m guessing that the ugly misaligned YouTube red/white START switcher in the middle of the video is something that you can’t fix on your end?
