Concretely, we take the coequalizer in the category of pseudo-metric spaces and then identify points with distance zero.'

'Given a directed diagram $(X_i)$ of metric spaces, take the directed colimit $X$ of the underlying sets with the following metric: If $x,y \in X$, let $d(x,y)$ be infimum of all $d(x_i,y_i)$, where $x_i,y_i \in X_i$ are some preimages of $x,y$ in some $X_i$. This is only a pseudo-metric, so finally take the associated metric space (Kolmogorov quotient). The definition ensures that each $X_i \to X$ is non-expansive, and the universal property is easy to check.'

'The canonical map $\mathrm{colim}_i (X \times Y_i) \to X \times \mathrm{colim}_i Y_i$ is an isomorphism for directed diagrams $(Y_i)$: It is surjective by the concrete description of directed colimits.
