Private Videos and How to Share Them:
To limit the exposure of one of your videos, set it to be a “Private” video. Only you and (up to
twenty–five other users who you invite to view the video) will be able to see it. In order to do
this, you’ll need to send these 25 other people a special link that goes to the private video.
Once your contacts receive the private URL, they’ll be able to sign into their YouTube account
and watch the video. Other users who haven’t received the link invite will not be able to view
the video as it is listed as private. If you’d like all users to be able to see / view your video, you
should set your video to “Public.”
The video will not appear on your channel, in Groups, search results, playlists, etc.
