    I see on Youtube there is no uniform way of calling an episode and episode, some channels call them parts or sections hell i've even seen custom names associated to the channel itself.

    so my question is what do you call your episodes, or what do you think they should uniformly be called?

    FYI, if your thing isnt listed on the poll then feel free to add it in a post below.

    It really depends on what exactly your recording. If your recording a very long series, then I would say, Episode 1, part 1. Or if your recording a series with only like 5-10 episodes only use episodes. That's what I think at least.

    I am trying to make things more uniform on my channel. So I plan to label each video of a let's play/playthrough as Ep XX. I have considered using Chapter xx or Season xx Ep xx on any super long playthroughs, like The Witcher or Fallout. If I do it will most likely be Seasons as I like to think of my LP/Playthrough series as TV shows. Problem with that is figuring out where to change Seasons.

    I am also trying to decide if I should call them Let's Plays or Playthroughs.

    It depends on your format. If you're recording two hours of a basic Let's Play video, I would call them parts when you break them up into smaller videos. If you're putting a lot of different elements into a video, and editing portions/signing off often like a TV show, I would call it an episode.
