Instructions from the YouTube Safety Center (continued)
5. Email / send a private message including the private video’s special URL. When your
friends receive the email invitation, they’ll need to:
• Sign into their YouTube account
• Click the video URL
• They’ll then be able to watch the video
• Once a video is shared via the private URL, it cannot be unshared.
Therefore, use your 25 invites wisely!
In order to watch a private video, your contacts must already have a YouTube account. If they
don’t already have an account, they’ll first need to sign up for an account. They will then be
able to sign in and watch the private video you sent them. If they do not sign into their account
before watching the video, the video will not load.
Abusive Users: Blocking users
You can block users from making comments about your videos or sending you messages. To
block a user, go to their Profile and click the “Block User” button in the “Connect with” box.
Similarly, you can unblock users by returning to their profile and clicking the “Unblock User”
button where the “Block User” button used to be.
Edit/Delete My Comments
1. Watch the video with the comment you would like to remove.
2. Scroll down to the “Comments & Responses” section and locate the comment that
you made that you would like to remove.
3. To delete a private message from your account, go to your “Inbox” by clicking
the small envelope icon at the top-right of any page (you must be logged in to
your YouTube account to see this icon and delete messages). Find the particular
message you want to delete and click the checkbox next to it, then click the “Delete”
button at the top of the page. The message will be permanently deleted.
