# Add or remove a player
## **Add or remove a player**
The VideoPlayer.Collection object can be used to add or remove a Player.
### **Example**
The following example sets up a container for the Player and two buttons that allow you to add and remove the player on demand:
**HTML**
```plainText
```
**Modifications to the Embed Code**
The example
```plainText
```
uses a slightly modified embed code to set up a container for the Player on the page:
- The Player script has been separated from the embed code and moved to the "head" tag.
- The "id" attribute has been added to the embed code so that it is possible to use the "addPlayerById" function.
- The "disable-auto-creation" attribute has been added to the embed code so that the player will not load until the "create player" button is clicked.
**Creating and Removing the Player**
The "createPlayer" function (line 23) is called when the "create player" button is clicked. This function uses the API's "addPlayerById" function to add the Player to the page.
The "removePlayer" function (line 27) is called when the "remove player" button is clicked. This function uses the "removePlayerById" function to remove the Player.
