YouTube private, public or unlisted video - What is it? How to change it?

How to change your YouTube video to private, public or unlisted.
How to change youtube video privacy settings/visibility.

A public video is publicly available on YouTube.
It can be searched and every video you see on YouTube is public.

A private video is not available on YouTube and cant be searched on YouTube.
Even if you have the link of the video, you can’t view the video.However there is an exception, which I will talk about in the upload section of this video

An unlisted video is the perfect middle between a private and public video.An unlisted video is a private video that you can view when you have the link of that video, or embed it in a website.

If you make your YouTube videos public, anybody can watch them whereas if you set them to private, only you and people you invite to watch them can do so

[MAXIMUSMINIMALIST]

I see you respond to all comments that’s great thank you!! My question has always been: if you upload as private will your subscribers be notified when you switch to public the same as if you uploaded public?? That has always been my concern about uploading private.

Thanks for the video. I have a question. I uploaded a new video as unlisted a few days ago. I don't want to post it yet because I don't want it to cannibalize my last video. I noticed the date next to the new video is the date I uploaded it. When I decide to publish it in the near future, I would like it to be listed under that date. Will the date change when I make it public, or should I delete it, and upload it again on the date I want to publish it?

"Members Only" - Always learn something new from your videos! Just got the community tab. Any strategies on how to use it in 2021? Sounds like a video idea...

Thank bro, i needed to upload a secondary-school using YouTube, and I swear i was there for a good 30 minutes trying to figure out how to change the visibility to unlisted before I came across your vid. 🙏

[Macman]

Great video! I’m just puzzled as to why when I change the proper settings it stays private. It also appears that their is no save button either. Very frustrating, but tomorrow is another day. I’ll let you know. Thanks for the tutorial. 😊

Does anyone know why YouTube changes it to private, I have set the default upload to public (on another channel) and then after about a week YouTube will change it to private. It only happens on one channel and it is very annoying.

Hi. I was just wondering how to change a Clip to public from the YouTube app in Android.

[thenodiggardener]

Hi, just wondering if you'd know the answer to this: YouTube and Google have been seriously discriminating against me, stopped me being able to monetise, but still think it's ok for them and their advertisers to earn from my content. If I unlist it all, will they have to remove the adverts on it if the videos are viewed from being embedded elsewhere?

[MrAlpha-ccew]

new question
when i upload it and schedule it, when video goes public it says 17h ago or 1day ago (viewers see the actual upload date not the publish date)

How do you change privacy settings USING AN IPHOINE with your tube studio app?

[K_Joseph]

Thank you I really needed to go on public in my videos

[nzonkagaming]

I made these YouTube Shorts that I made in the past already and want to make some changes in the video details. If I want to make some changes in my video details in the YouTube studio, should I set visibility to unlisted or private?

[MatteoCorvo]

Do you think it might effect how the video goes after public realise if it stay for a while as unlisted?
