Part 1. Steps to Change Privacy Settings and Upload Private Videos On YouTube
A private video on YouTube is applied when sensitive or secretive content is involved and only viewers who are invited or sent links can be able to view these videos. Private videos cannot be found on search results or on suggested pages and the user can only send this to a maximum of 50 people. Privacy unlisted uses links that can be shared to those people without accounts. Being a public site the videos are public by default and one has to change the settings to private. This will enable the user to only share with those who the video is meant to reach.
Steps to Change YouTube Privacy Settings
- Sign in your YouTube account. On your main page, locate the upload button and tap the arrow next to it.
- Select “privacy settings” and click it then choose who you want to view your video. The options presented are three: unlisted, private, public.
- Choose the video that you would like to upload by clicking on select files to upload and the video will automatically start uploading.
Notes: UNLISTED is sending files to people with or without you tube channels. Note that the URL you send can be resent to other people who can view your content. PRIVATE is an option for those people who do not want their videos to be shared to other people. It is only the owner of the video and the people he/she has selected to view the video. It can be sent to a maximum of 50 YouTube channels. Select the option that is more desirable and suitable to you.
