# Customizing your Captivate podcast player

It's time to make the player look and work exactly how you want it to.

To create your customized Captivate podcast player:

* Login to your Captivate dashboard.
* Click __Podcast Player__ from the left hand menu under the __Design__ heading.

Here you'll see a whole range of customization options available to you:

* ****Style Preview:**** This will update in real-time as you make changes to your player design, and can be interacted with as a complete player right from your dashboard.
* ****Choose Style:**** Pick from Captivate's dark or light style for your colour pallet, or select __Customize__ to make your entire colour palette suit your podcast brand.
* ****Player Options:**** Make the decision to show or hide every single button or link option on the player.
* ****Directory Links:**** Select which podcast directories you wish to display on the __Follow__ link of your Captivate podcast player.
* ****Sharing Options:**** Pick which social links you want to include to let listeners easily share your episodes.
* ****Player Branding:**** Decide how much of our Captivate logo you show (the whole thing, just an icon, or nothing).

When you've finished your customization, simply click __Save Changes__.
