# Update Appearance Customizations

`PUT /medias/{mediaId}/customizations/appearance`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.wistia.com/modern`
- URL: `https://api.wistia.com/modern/medias/{mediaId}/customizations/appearance`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Applies a partial update to a video's appearance customizations. Only the
fields supplied are changed; sending a field as null deletes it (reverting to
the default).

## Requires api token with one of the following permissions
```
Read, update & delete anything
```

Tokens with the "Act with a team member's permissions" permission
(`all:delegate_to_contact_permissions` scope) can also be used. Requests
made with such a token are authorized using the permissions of the
contact assigned to the token.

An [expiring access token](https://docs.wistia.com/reference/post_expiring-token)
created with the `all:delegate_to_contact_permissions` scope and an
authorization granting the `edit` permission on this media can also be used.
