"YouTube now lets you create your own video Slams, Google's video platform\u00A0announced on its blog today.\r\n\r\nBefore you rush on it, it's worth mentioning that you need at least one channel or playlist for the feature to work properly:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHere are the steps to follow to create a Slam:\r\n\r\n\r\n\tMake a playlist with the videos you want to include in the Slam (you\u2019ll need at least two videos and they have to be public), or choose a playlist you have already\r\n\tGo to\u00A0youtube.com/slam/create\r\n\tClick the \u201CCreate Slam\u201D button next to one of your playlists.\r\n\r\n\r\nIn the example below, you can see the results with my personal selection of\u00A0Faireset\u00A0videos (in French):\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAs you can see, a Slam is actually a video &amp;quot;battle&amp;quot;, where you can vote for your favorite video.\u00A0The feature itself isn't entirely new, and YouTube had been experimenting this idea for a few months.\u00A0However, what's interesting is that you can now manage the game yourself, by handpicking the videos that will be included.\r\n\r\nOnce you're done curating your game, you can play it solo and earn points by predicting the crowd favorites. Yet, it will probably be funnier to share the link with your friends or play together in a Google+ Hangout, as YouTube suggests.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you are uninspired, you can also decide to subscribe to pre-selected Slam leaderboards, which can help you find the cutest or the weirdest videos, among other categories.\r\n\r\nFrom Google's perspective, Slams are also a good way to unveil and promote the most popular videos on its platform.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 YouTube Slam"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
